“FROM ENGINEER TO BUSINESS” (“E2B”) SERIES
Jianlu (Jim) Ma,
CEO/President, Neurovasc Technologies Inc.
Topic: Engineer Minds vs. Business Minds
Being the founder of a startup company and being the boss for yourself sounds like the "dream" job for most engineers. But it is not always true that a good engineer can make a capable founder. Engineers take specific directions from supervisors and complete assignment within a specific timeframe. But a founder carries many more responsibilities, including analyzing all the potential risks that the company may have and making the right decisions so that company will only have reversible risks if there is no way to avoid it. The presenter will share some of his experience as a founder of a startup company and hope the experience can help new founders make the transition from engineers to founders smoother.
Mr. Ma founded Neurovasc Technologies Inc. in August of 2015, with a unique background in serial medical device development, clinical evaluation, and commercialization experience.
Prior to starting Neurovasc, Mr. Ma founded Marvel Medical Technologies in 2011 and served as its General Manager. Prior to that, he had worked with several major medical device companies and managed R&D activities for 22 years.
Mr. Ma received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Xi’an Technological University and his Master of Science degree from Florida International University. Mr. Ma has 23 issued US patents and over 46 US patent applications related to vascular devices.
