Rick has spent over 25 years within the cardiac rhythm management industry, with roles at Guidant Corporation, Cameron Health, and Boston Scientific—including 10 years dedicated to the development of the world's first subcutaneous implantable defibrillator system (S-ICD). His experience includes positions within R&D as well as field-based roles, creating a foundation that gives him a keen ability to develop novel products that simplify the user experience and improve outcomes for patients.

With a deep understanding of how medical devices must interface with healthcare institutions, physicians, and patients, Rick played a critical role at Cameron Health where he led development efforts on the algorithm used to determine when defibrillation shocks should be delivered or inhibited.

Rick has proven leadership in research and engineering, a history of cultivating worldwide physician-industry collaborations, and holds over 70 patents in the cardiac rhythm management field.

Rick earned a BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington and an MBA from Oxford.
