Advanced Health Technology: Managing Risk While Tackling Barriers to Rapid Acceleration

"Everything worth winning in life boils down to teamwork and leadership. In my positions as a businessman, athlete, community leader, and University trustee, there are tremendous parallels between all of these endeavors that mirror an extreme team sport such as medical technology. Understanding the game, defining the game, playing your position at your highest performance, and helping others play their best game. Advanced Health Technology represents an incredible opportunity to level up the game of healthcare and highlights the multiple disciplines – or positions to be mastered – while laying out winning plays to make that next level happen."

Ronnie Lott, Managing Member, Lott Investments; Member, Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Trustee, Santa Clara University
