How Nitin Salunke’s different mindset helped him shift career from engineer to CEO of Supira Medical

A college introduction to biomechanics set Nitin Salunke on an expected path into the medical device industry. But once his course was set Salunke helped manage innovative product launches at several large medical device companies including WL Gore, Cordis and Covidien/Medtronic. But Salunke always had his eyes on leading a start-up. In this discussion you’ll learn how he used each opportunity to help achieve that dream. Today, he leads Supira Medical, a white-hot startup developing a new type of pVAD. Salunke will also be a speaker at the upcoming DeviceTalks West meeting.
