Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Hill is a global-minded biomedical engineering executive, entrepreneur, and academic who translates patient-inspired science into commercial medical device innovations. With more than two decades leading R&D, clinical research, and enterprise technology strategy at Medtronic and multiple startups, he has shepherded first-in-class products (including leadless pacemakers and implantable diagnostics) from concept through regulatory approval and market launch. He now combines teaching at Case Western Reserve, advising investors and founders, and co-founding an organo-robotic interface venture to tackle previously incurable diseases. An accredited angel investor and frequent advisor on scientific and technical boards, he uniquely pairs deep technical expertise (PhD in biomedical engineering) with organizational leadership and a knack for scaling innovation pipelines. Less obvious: he blends rigorous clinical trial experience and health-economics thinking with active mentorship and curriculum-building to accelerate decision-making across academia, industry, and venture. Based in San Diego, he focuses on accelerating the cycle of innovation at the intersection of biology, devices, and systems-level healthcare impact.
