Ronald W. Dollens, Retired President & CEO, Guidant Corp.
Leadership at Medical Device Companies: Achieving the Performance and Payout you Want

Over a legendary career that saw the company that would become Guidant grow from a small manufacturer of angioplasty devices into a global leader in cardiovascular devices, Ron Dollens built one of the great medical device companies of all times. And his exit was as amazing as his beginnings: The acquisition of Guidant by Boston Scientific was, by far, the largest deal the device industry had ever seen—a true testimony to the prominence that Guidant, and Dollens, had achieved over the years.
In this keynote address, Dollens talks about his career and the lessons he’s learned and offers guidance to device company executives about building a global device giant.
