Episode Synopsis

Geoff Pardo and three successful medtech CEOs who exited their companies through a different pathway— M&A, IPO, and SPAC—discuss the pros and cons of each. While market volatility is a given, Bruce Shook, Former President & CEO, Intact Vascular and Vesper Medical; Clint Carnell, Co-Founder & Chairman, OrangeTwist; Former CEO, BeautyHealth; and Leslie Trigg, CEO, Outset Medical agreed that successful CEOs keep their focus on delivering returns for their investors—whether private or public. If your company is solving a really important problem and is creating value for patients, you’ll ultimately succeed, Shook said. From there, Trigg pointed out, exit vehicles are simply different modes of transportation to the same place.  GUESTS:Bruce Shook, Former President & CEO, Intact Vascular and Vesper Medical Clint Carnell, Co-Founder & Chairman, OrangeTwist; Former CEO, BeautyHealth Leslie Trigg, CEO, Outset Medical, Inc. HOST:  Geoff Pardo, General Partner, Gilde Healthcare; Host, Medtech Talk podcast  LINKS:Cambridge Healthtech Institute Medtech Talk Gilde Healthcare OrangeTwist Outset Medical
