Wel­come to a new year and a new round of MedTech Mas­ters, fea­tur­ing some of the many peo­ple we admire in the medtech com­mu­ni­ty.

Car­ing for the Earth and being mind­ful of the resources we use at Bell­mont Part­ners is impor­tant to us as a com­pa­ny. We val­ue envi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­i­ty and do what we can to put our words into action. It’s why Bell­mont Part­ners has a Sus­tain­abil­i­ty Com­mit­tee – a group of vol­un­teers at the agency who lead...Read More

Octo­ber was a big month for Minnesota’s man­u­fac­tur­ing com­mu­ni­ty, and our Bell­mont Part­ners team was proud to be a part of the action. From fac­to­ry tours to indus­try sum­mits, our Man­u­fac­tur­ing Prac­tice Group hit the road to con­nect, learn and cel­e­brate the peo­ple and inno­va­tions dri­ving this vital sec­tor forward. We kicked things off with our...Read More

What the heck is thought lead­er­ship? That’s the top­ic that Shel­li Lis­sick and I tack­led in our “The Trust Fac­tor: Build­ing Brand Author­i­ty in Health­care Through Thought Lead­er­ship” ses­sion at this year’s Min­neso­ta Health Strat­e­gy and Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Net­work (MHSCN) Fall Con­fer­ence. Thought lead­er­ship – defined by Hub­Spot as “A tac­tic con­tent mar­keters use to build...Read More

The way we search for answers on the inter­net is chang­ing fast. AI-pow­ered search is no longer lim­it­ed to tools like Chat­G­PT — it’s now embed­ded in plat­forms like Face­book, Spo­ti­fy and Red­dit, where users increas­ing­ly rely on AI-gen­er­at­ed sum­maries to find cred­i­ble infor­ma­tion. This shift has major impli­ca­tions for how orga­ni­za­tions build and main­tain...Read More

What can’t Chris Rupp do? Good ques­tion. Not only is he the vice pres­i­dent of glob­al mar­ket­ing and com­mer­cial oper­a­tions for NAMSA, a world author­i­ty in med­ical device and in vit­ro diag­nos­tics preclinical/clinical research, bio­log­i­cal safe­ty test­ing and reg­u­la­to­ry com­pli­ance, but he’s also a hus­band, dad to three kids, a com­pet­i­tive mas­ters swim­mer – and...Read More

Next up in our MedTech Mas­ters Q&A series is Edi­tor in Chief, Life Sci­ences for Mass­De­vice and Med­ical Design & Out­sourc­ing, Chris New­mark­er! A tal­ent­ed jour­nal­ist, we’ve long-admired Chris’ work and in fact, he actu­al­ly par­tic­i­pat­ed in a pan­el event we host­ed a num­ber of years ago with health and medtech media mem­bers! We’re very...Read More

MedTech Mas­ters Q&A is baaaaaack! And we couldn’t be more excit­ed to kick off our fall series with medtech mover and shak­er Kylle Jor­dan, busi­ness devel­op­ment man­ag­er at Des­ti­na­tion Med­ical Cen­ter. Her 15-year career is packed with expe­ri­ence lead­ing inter­na­tion­al affairs and eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment ini­tia­tives in the medtech indus­try. This year, Min­neapo­lis-St. Paul Busi­ness Jour­nal...Read More
