How are these women chosen? What is criteria?
Chris Newmarker says
Hi Ebony,
These picks were the result of internal discussions among editors at MDO and MassDevice. Danielle polled some of us on which women medical device executives we’ve been most impressed with over the years, as well as executives who have had an impact at our DeviceTalks conferences. It was definitely our first crack at something like this. Think it would help if we put something more formal together in coming years? (i.e. a nomination process, etc.).
Thanks for reaching out.
Best,
Chris

Hi there – I believe it would be great if you had a nomination process. Truly.
