Stephane Gobron

Stephane completed his Master of Plastic Engineering in France (INSA Strasbourg) before completing a second Master of Science in Chemical Engineering at Syracuse University (NY). To follow his interest in inventing new designs and products, he chose to work in the medical device industry, focusing on R&D and new product development. He is a highly accomplished medical device designer, with 31 device patents to his name spanning several medical fields of application: monitoring, ophthalmology, cardiology, implants, and minimally invasive endoscopic surgeries.

Stephane has been working in the medical device Industry for over 25 years; he started in large cap , high-volume corporations (Boston Scientific, Novartis) to gradually focus onto the start-up world and develop his entrepreneurial business sense. He held various technical positions of increasing responsibilities and oversaw the development of several devices from concept definition to FDA clearance and market launch. He transitioned into executive management almost 15 years ago: leading technical teams, interacting with agencies, and helping with Venture Capital fund raising.
