Heather has met these opportunities with enthusiasm and creativity. She has played leadership roles in innovative programs such as the first live beating heart surgery transmitted on the Internet, the first anesthesia symposium on beating heart surgery, and widely recognized educational programs for surgeons at national conventions. Patient education strategies have increased awareness and generated greater understanding of minimally invasive cardiac procedures. The combination of top-caliber products, education, and training had outstanding financial results. And customers are eager for more.
Cardiac surgeons are enthusiastic about the future and interested in new products and procedures.
These partnerships benefit everyone when they result in innovation and better outcomes. Heather enjoys mentoring her team as much as nurturing customer relationships. Each individual is talented and motivated, unique with different needs and desires. I enjoy being able to work with team members to help them achieve hopes and dreams for their careers while we work together to achieve business objectives. The rewards and opportunities at Medtronic feed Heather's enthusiasm.
