Axogen

[Anonymous]

Whoever he is I doubt he will be doing it for long. Word is they are in financial trouble once again. Good friend said they are having their mid-year meeting at an airport hotel in Detroit. Lots of folks bailing in recent months with more on the way. Good product - bad company.[/QUOT

Bad company? Lol, that my friend is an understatement. AxoGen is the Washington Generals of the bush leagues. They have not realized a profit since, like ever. Constant turnover of reps and managers (3 reps and 1 Regional in the last 30 days alone and they only a couple dozen reps to begin with). Top heavy, incompetent, greedy do nothings sucking up all of the $$ and paying reps garbage. A more non-professional group you will not find. It is a matter of time before KZ will no longer be able to BS naïve investors to float this trash barge and it finally gets flushed down the drain.

Do you really think KZ cares about anything other than herself? Do you think she cares of you quit tomorrow? She cares just as much as I do if she was removed tonight.

Wow, someone was nipping off the jug with this post. I'm pretty sure that point was an underlying meaning in the post you attempted to commmmet on. And yes, everyone gets it's, KZ, SM, JS, JI, goofball ED or even any of the a@@clowns in management could give a s¥@@ about anyone but themselves. It's all about living til their next paycheck.

Just a matter of time until SM drags his worthless carcass up to the front of a sales meeting to announce they are cutting comp to 6-7% and keeping the insane quotas as is. That's the only way the can he and the other overpaid "execs" can continue to keep theirs without folding. We all know anyone of them would sell their mother for a buck and they most assumably will screw the "insignificant's" in a heartbeat.

What is the relationship between KZ and JS?

Didn't they work together at J&J?

Wasn't JS a "consultant" at one point at Axogen?

Yep. LMAO. Anyone who has done their due delegence looking deep into their financials is keenly aware of the gross mismanagement and greed of the CEO and aforementioned principals. The company has never turned a profit, they pay the reps absolute S¥¥¥ compensation, have very little money in R£D and these a@@clowns are sucking as much off the top as they can at the expense of the true lifeblood. It really is a very toxic and sick environment. The company can not and will not survive without a complete, and I mean complete, enema of any & all management personnel from CEO down to the very incompetent ex-Possis field "managers".

100% correct.
Btw- we are down to only two of the ex-Possis miscreants.

Is Integra picking this company up.

 

[Anonymous]

There were talks w/Integra in the early days - Karen always said they were listening in on investor conf calls.

They have a low priced conduit, they would be competing against themselves.

The real question - how many patients have gaps between 4-7 (thats' Axogens' entire market)

Good question and it's small. If Integra, Stryker or any other company saw real dollar value and profit on the Avance they would already have it. They don't want or need AxoGuard and Avance is unique but it's very niche and quite small. Perfect example is AxoGen, no profit realized since day one. If they weren't selling AxoGuard at it's ridiculous markup the company would have shut down yrs ago.

I seriously doubt Integra could care less about AxoGen. KZ is delusional. If Integra really cared or was worried, they could simply drop their prices on protectors & connectors and any AxoGuard business would be gone in a second. Alas, so would AxoGen.

No one knows the market potential for the 4-7 gap & that included the "experts" @ AxoGen. It's a guessing game at best. However, the volume is in 3cm gaps and less and that is a market AxoGen will never be a legit player in.

You obviously are a legitmate poster because what you have stated is quite accurate. Much agreed, SM in particular, about as non-professional as you will find.
Flat out BS artist and a bad one at that.

Who would actually buy/invest in Axogen?

The product is primarily used in the hand, thus sold by a hand surgeon sales force - does such a thing even exist?

Can only think of 2 companies - Stryker & Synthes - didn't they already try door #1?

What are we supposed to read into this?

Jumping to un named company

Giving up stock options

Was this a bolt of lightning - someone just called up and said "how would you like to be ceo?"

Doesn't smell right

yes out of the blue a phone call was made with an offer and accepted all within one hour. I am shocked it took that long.

JS will be sadly missed. I mean she was so instrumental in well, besides self promotion, nothing. I cannot imagine her being CEO of a car wash. Good riddance hack.
Now, how long before that equally inept scumdog SM hits the bricks and takes his remaining goof with him. Just another day in the ever revolving door of temps at AxoGen.

Bye the bye - Any company who has the gonads to hold a NSM at an airport hotel, in Detroit, in July, explains all you need to know about their financial status and lack of brain. What a dump!!

Very well said mi amigo. And, very true.

AxoGen is about one thing, the 5-6 so called "execs" at the top making as much money as they can before the gravy train of free money comes to an end. That is why their incomes are grossly and negligently inflated compared to P&L. That is why reps are paid entry level comp. That is also why you have NSM's at a Detroit airport hotel. ( much agreed, to roll out that insane BS on a sales force speaks volumes. Why not simply, not pay the reps for a month? That would be a better opt). Classic case of greed gone wild.

Has anyone ever checked into the backgrounds of JG/KZ

Skeletons in the closet?

Why did all of KZ's personal picks come from a division of J&J which produced a surgical mesh which has produced tremendous patient pain and lawsuits.

Wasn't Shitarelli vastly involved with this? Gynecare?

Just askin
