What this episode covers

Devon Campbell, founder of Prodct LLC, discusses his advisory practice for early-stage biotech and medical device companies, drawing on his experience at Ventana Medical Systems, Quanterix, and Novartis. He explains how his background in machine shop operations and holistic product development—from design to field service—enabled his rapid rise to senior leadership roles. Campbell advocates for dual-career tracks in engineering, allowing brilliant technical contributors to become 'fellows' without becoming managers, and emphasizes the importance of integrating regulatory strategy (FDA, ISO 13485) from the earliest stages of product development to avoid costly rework.
