Ran Shifron – General Manager & Founder, Healthier Globe
As a senior Medical Device Executive with extensive successful experience in the Medical Device Industry in start-ups, mid-size & large multinational Medical Device organizations spanning the last 30 years-I helped develop and bring dozens of medical devices with different medical applications including non-invasive & wearable products to the global markets successfully. I helped co’s define market needs, fund raising, create publicly traded co’s and sell co’s, all while building a worldwide network of industry contacts. I have taken my passion of helping medical device co.’s succeed in going to world markets correctly by building a program to help co’s properly prepare for the market and for fund raising, a special program for co’s with a medical product that need assistance.
I love bringing medical devices to the global markets. What I love most is seeing a medical device that is able to early detect, save lives, make a caretaker’s job easier or improve a patient’s quality of life. My idea of a co. developing an ideal Medical Device field is to create recurring revenue on a periodic basis? My goal is to create MILLIONS of $$ in equity for my clients through medical device international sales.
I have vast international experience in Medical Device Development, Capital Equipment, Disposables, Accessories & Service business. I earned top international education in Business and Science: BSc and MBA and have helped leading medical device co’s.
