From Brainstorm to Breakthrough: The Spine Surgeon’s Playbook for Building Scalable Innovation

Thursday, June 11 at 3:30 p.m.

Dr. Jeffrey Roh serves as the Chief Executive Officer of IntuitiveX. He has over 20 years of experience as an inventor, angel investor, and serial entrepreneur, and holds multiple patents through the USPTO. After having his minimally invasive IP acquired by Stryker in 2009, Jeff was instrumental in the development of ES2, one of Stryker’s most commercially successful minimally invasive spine systems, as well as their marquee lateral access platform, ARIA, and helped Stryker generate over $350M in revenue over a seven-year period. His experience as a serial entrepreneur includes the successful launch, scalable growth, and ultimate acquisition of Advanced Biologics’ OsteoAmp platform to Bioventus (BVS) in 2014. As a leader in medical innovation, Dr. Roh shares his valuable experience and insights as our keynote speaker at this year's Innovation Summit.

"With very limited acquisitions, 95% of startups failing, and funding increasingly scarce, understanding the right pathway to success has never been more critical. The NASS Innovation NetWORK Summit is designed to address these challenges head-on, serving as a unique collaboration focused on business design, achieving product-market fit, and bridging the gap from concept to commercialization.”
