Fixing Heartware?

Quote

































































NN follows on the closure of the Portsmouth, NH facility by closing Framingham, MA. Great job making the tough business decisions! Let's redirect now and talk about Our Mission.

It has to help to get out from under Marinaro. HF docs dont like sales guys talking down to them.

So NN is so bad the best you can say is, “it has to help...” I didn’t believe how bad he was but he has underwhelmed my lowest expectations. Looking forward to changing him out and getting a good leader.

Agree but problem is bad press if move made. Hope fully he’ll leave on his own.

MCS is never going to be what it could. Medtronic doesn’t understand the buisness. They think rotating “leaders” in and out is the way to win. Meanwhile we’re competing against a team who docs recognize as leaders and their peers. NN is just a sign of things to come.

no, nn is the guy they throw in to close business.
 








Really Medtronic has done nothing with HeartWare. Only cancelled or delayed MVAD and fully implantable. They did ram PAL through submission but HeartWare could have done the same bad job. Maybe a warning letter being lifted someday is Medtronic’s lasting impact

LVADS are messy and complicated. There are not many people who work with pacemakers who can understand that, and Medtronic has gotten rid of pretty much all of them who touched Heartware, and the legacy team, instead trying to make MCS a mini CRM.

geoff gave him an award to justify putting him in charge of that last business. he had a prior history of not hitting his goals, not great at leading people and just sucking. what’s most interesting to us in ohq is how he keeps getting opportunities & continues poor performance.

Keep him there and out of the field. The Docs know he’s an empty suit. Lots of promises, canceled projects.
