John W. Huelskamp

John W. Huelskamp has over 25 years of executive management and sales and marketing experience in the Medical Industry. Prior to founding BG Medical, he served as President of MedChannel’s Distribution and General Surgery Group. In this capacity he positioned three medical device companies for successful commercialization in the United States. Revenues for all three companies quickly grew to a run rate of $25 million+ and were successfully positioned for Acquisition or IPO.

Prior to this, John served as Senior Director of Sales for Onux Medical, a medical device start-up that competed against market leaders TYCO and Ethicon. Because of the aggressive sales and market share capture under his leadership in the Field (15% share in 18 months), Onux Medical was acquired by C.R. Bard, Davol Division.

Prior to Onux Medical, he served as Director of U.S. Sales for SonoSite (NASDAQ: SONO). Under his leadership in this highly competitive imaging market, SonoSite revenues grew from $5 million to $27 million in the first year against formidable competitors: Philips, Siemens, and GE. Previous to this, he held Executive sales positions with several Fortune 500 medical device companies including Toshiba, Datascope, and Pfizer-Howmedica.

John’s expertise is in assessing business opportunities, defining business strategies, building the supporting management, sales, and marketing infrastructure … and managing execution. He has consistently achieved double-digit growth and market share, working in highly competitive, established markets against industry leaders. His track record includes leading sales and marketing teams in many organizations to the number one market leadership position.

John is also an advisor to several AMA Societies including ACS, RSNA, ACEP, SLS, SAEM, and AHA. He received his BA from John Carroll University, Ohio, and attended the MBA Program at Loyola University of Chicago.
