Medtech women: Intersect’s lessons for the big boys
This article was originally published in Clinica
Executive Summary
Intersect ENT is somewhat unusual in the medtech world: it has a female CEO, Lisa Earnhardt, and more women than men on its senior management team. The company, which counts giant Medtronic among its investors, has developed a steroid-releasing implant, Propel, for the treatment of chronic sinusitis. Clinica spoke to Ms Earnhardt in a recent podcast, and it seems that the gender balance among the company’s top execs is no accident.
