In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Mara McFadden CEO of Endolumik , developers of an innovative fluorescence-guided esophagogastric calibration system.

Mara graduated as a mechanical engineer from the University of California, Berkeley. She further developed her business acumen during her MBA at Carnegie Mellon University and in various leadership positions with renowned healthcare companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Philips Healthcare.

Mara co-founded Endolumik, and in this interview, shares her philosophy of embracing imperfections and learning from your failures, why customer engagement and team culture are integral to business growth, and how the art of smart fundraising can lead to a thriving venture.
