CEO Summit Welcomes Medical Device Magnates

Innovative medical devices to assist doctors and surgeons have revolutionized patient care – and the center of the universe for the invention, design and manufacture of such devices has to be Orange County. Here in the O.C., medical devices account for more than 11% of the total manufacturing economy.

With the crucial importance of that industry in mind, Chapman hosted a first-of-its kind “CEO Summit” for medical device manufacturers on Sept. 1. A select crowd of invited guests listened to host Jim Doti and guest speakers Jim Mazzo, senior vice president at Abbott and president of Abbott Medical Optics; Michael Mussallem, chairman and CEO of Edwards Lifesciences, and Joe E. Kiani, founder, board chairman and CEO of Masimo Corporation, in a fascinating discussion of hot topics in the industry.

The summit will be broadcast on upcoming episodes of Dialogue with Doti and Dodge (KOCE-TV and the OC Channel; streaming episodes can also be viewed after the air date).
