“You told me the opposite of what I have been told by everyone else about how they would attack this market.” Said one CEO to Jim during an interview.  Jim got the job and helped lead this company to success. During his stellar career, Jim has been part of 7 startups.  We cover a lot of ground that will have pearls of wisdom for all listeners whether you are in the C-Suite or in marketing and sales.  Lots of great career advice as well. We set the foundation with Jim’s current role at Explorer Surgical where he is heading up sales in a MedTech SAAS technology.  Some of you may want to implement this technology once you understand how powerful it is. This technology can really help companies with unique surgical products scale more rapidly with improved consistent outcomes. Then we move into his deliberate process for deciding whether to join a startup organization.  During all of this we delve into the strategic and tactical power of startups as learning organizations.
