Inari Medical is a 2020 success story. The company was one of the first medtech companies to IPO during the pandemic. As part of the new
Medtech Talk Digital Discussion Series, host Geoff Pardo had a chance to conduct a panel interview with four members of the Inari management team: Bill Hoffman, CEO; Drew Hykes, CCO; Thomas Tu, MD, CMO; and Tara Dunn, Vice President of Clinical Affairs and Market Development. The team discussed their unique culture, strong mission, early success, sales strategy and many other topics, including advice from Bill to other entrepreneurs who are considering going public, reflections from Tom on the transition from being a physician to the business world, benchmarking from Drew on how this experience compares to other ventures he has been in, and comparisons from Tara on the difference between working for a big company vs. a smaller company. Tune in now to hear from one of medtech’s most promising companies!
