Alexis McArdle

With a decade of experience in the med-device field, I'm passionate about helping companies bring innovative ideas to life. From industry giants like Intuitive to high-growth startups, I've honed my expertise in strategic planning and upstream development, guiding clients through the exciting landscape of medical technology.

My background in biomedical engineering fuels my passion for this industry, and I leverage that knowledge to ensure our clients are on the cutting edge. When I'm not strategizing or dissecting the latest trends, you'll find me soaking up the beauty of New England's outdoors – or plotting my next travel adventure!
