New US head in 2022?

I think most of the comments on these boards are overly dramatic and inflammatory. I respect Ryan as a person, but I don’t agree with many of his leadership decisions. He doesn’t seem to understand the uniqueness of Biotronik and how to work best with the people that have been patiently helping the organization grow in the US for the past 4 decades. He has demonstrated that he does not trust or respect people who worked for or were hired by Marlou or Jake and he’s been systematically replacing them with hand-picked successors which is certainly his right to do. I would consider most of his hires to be marginally talented at best. Some are complexly incompetent altogether, but they are loyal to him which is appears to be the primary qualifying criteria for most since many of these hires never went through a competitive candidate selection process. That’s not a personal attack on them, it’s simply my assessment based on working with several of his hires closely over the past two years. I don’t think Ryan has the skills required to lead this organization to success having alienated a large number of previously very loyal Bio employees. No leader can appeal to everyone, but this leader doesn’t seem capable of bringing together a simple majority. That does not mean I believe he is a bad person, it simply means I don’t believe he’s the right person to lead this organization moving forward. I do hope the rumors are true that we will have a new president in 2022 as I’d like to believe we can turn this around before it is too late.

Couldn’t agree more. Company feels divided into two camps, those that stand with Ryan and what seems like a larger group that can’t wait to see him go. Easy to see why there has been so much dysfunction lately. We can’t win like this with more than half the team disengaged. Ryan needs to address this now before it gets out of control.

Open ur eyes bro sh*t’s outta control already!
 






The only really smart thing IMO Ryan has done since taking over from Marlou has been to radically renegotiate the revenue target. if he hadn't the annual number would be north of $450m by now for sure. He brought back a lower target from Berlin precisely so that he could outperform which should have been a layup in 2019. Then, a global pandemic gave him two more get out of jail free cards, lucky break for sure, but now he's out of moves. He’ll end 2021 having missed the non-adjusted revenue mark for a third year in a row. Like NFL coaches, BIO Presidents don’t generally survive more than 3 losing seasons in a row, pandemic or no pandemic.

The NorthEast growth from the Abbott players alone will get him to plan.
 












It’s not the field’s ability to perform that’s the issue. If anything, productivity from the field is the highest it’s ever been at least in my region. The field is going to keep on cranking regardless of who’s steering the ship as long as the leadership doesn’t mess with the comp plan or make their lives miserable by wedging levels of management where it doesn’t belong. He’s tried and failed to monkey with the comp plans and so far backed off the most drastic changes fearing all out revolt. The second part however will be Ryan’s great undoing in my opinion. The numbers of utterly worthless executive hires under his watch that have alienated or outright driven out competent, productive people is nothing short of astounding. What is purpose of these people? They sure as hell aren’t helping me sell. It's an embarrassment to me and the company that I am asked to parade them around in front of customers. They add zero value. They don’t care to really understand what my customers need since they are so focused on their own agendas. Besides, with limited exceptions, they have no technical expertise, don’t understand the products, the company, its history or what we have to do to sell in the trenches.

I believe the RD’s are required to pass product competency tests. Am I wrong?!

The RD's are generally not the problem as most come up through crm field rep or fcs roles, it's really this new batch of VP types and "heads of" roles that are the most useless to helping me advance relationships and sell. If I can't trust them, my customers certainly can't either. I do my best not to engage with them unless I am forced.

RW has chosen his scapegoats wisely. Clock is ticking, the grand finale will be spectacular.

LOL, or perhaps he’s an immortal. Check out those glowing blue eyes! Has anyone spotted him in daylight recently?

My daughter watches one of those CW network vampire shows and apparently some have evolved to tolerate direct sunlight. Garlic maybe? Some Cali rep should invite him to the Gilroy garlic festival and see if he accepts or declines the invite.

This is f’ing hilarious. Poor Dr Hayes, I’m wondering how many times he’s regretted leaving Mayo to join up with this group of buffoons. What a low note to end an illustrious career on.

I'm sure Dan Schlewitz thought the same thing. RIP Dan. You'll always be a MDT guy for those of us that truly knew you.
