Dr. Stuart spent 8+ years with Aperio Technologies, where he was responsible for building commercial operations including sales, marketing and services. He championed several key initiatives such as the Pathology Visions Conference, now the largest digital pathology industry conference in the world, and also fostered the collaboration to digitize the world famous pathology slide collection from Dr. Juan Rosai.

Aperio was acquired by Leica Biosystems, a Danaher Company, in 2012.
