Over the past two years, I helped lead a two-phase divestiture, first of the Therapy division and then the AI Detection division, culminating in a successful transition and cutover. This marks my fourth successful exit, spanning both PE-backed and public companies, and one I’m particularly proud of. iCAD required transformation across digital, strategic, and cultural dimensions—and we delivered.
