How did MedTechVets begin?

MedTechVets was co-founded by Michael Minogue, a retired U.S. Army veteran, who’s president and CEO of Abiomed, to assist army veterans community with business mentors to find profession alternatives within the life sciences business. 

What does MedTechVets do? 

“Our mission is to help military veterans transition and find a career with purpose in the medical technology industry through education, mentoring, and networking,” stated govt director Amy Reiter, who leads the group from Fort Worth. 

“The military has equipped veterans with skills that are highly valued in the corporate world, such as teamwork, service, managing people, organization, delegation, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Those are very desirable to a corporate culture, so we work to help them make that transition,” she stated.
