High-stakes decisions shape medtech companies long before results show up on a balance sheet. When done well, they create alignment, accelerate execution, and move programs forward.

Find out how experienced leaders approach those moments at the Women in MedTech Breakfast during DeviceTalks Minnesota on May 4.

Each panelist brings a different lens on how strong decision-making drives outcomes across the industry.

Women in MedTech Breakfast Feature ImageCat Jennings, senior vice president and president, Vascular Therapies at Boston Scientific, leads teams at the intersection of product development and patient need where design decisions carry clinical and commercial consequences.

Marcie Dewalt, chief human resources officer at Provation, brings an operational perspective on the prioritization and accountability required to drive leadership performance across complex teams.

Register today: Join us on May 4 at the University of Minnesota’s McNamara Alumni Center in Minneapolis.

Laura Stoltenberg, CEO of Cryosa, operates in an environment where each decision shapes the path to validation and adoption, reflecting the weight of building a company while proving value.

Heather Hudnut Page will be moderating this discussion and brings decades of operating leadership from Medtronic and Philips, where she managed global portfolios and studied how large organizations make decisions at scale.

Together, the panel reflects the full spectrum of medtech decision-making, from large strategic organizations to early-stage companies to the systems that support how teams operate.

The discussion will focus on how strong decisions get made in practice. How leaders create alignment. How leaders handle disagreement. What changes when the stakes rise.

The Women in MedTech Breakfast at DeviceTalks Minnesota offers a closer look at how experienced leaders approach those moments. Registration is open now at Minnesota.DeviceTalks.com.
