In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with, Tim Rosa, CEO of Somnee, a company developing wearables based on personalized neuroscience to improve sleep quality.

Previously, Tim was the CMO at Fitbit, where he played a key role in establishing the health and fitness wearables category. He built the organization’s global marketing function, contributing to the sale of over 140 million devices in 100+ countries. Additionally, he helped drive the company’s IPO and its eventual $2.1 billion sale to Google. Tim has also advised and worked with major brands like Electronic Arts, 2K Sports, ESPN Video Games, and Jasper Health.

In this interview, Tim shares insights on building and scaling successful brands based on real customer experiences, keeping messaging clear, and using brand strategy as a business foundation. He also shares why solid data and clinical evidence in OTC products are essential and how he generates value out of ongoing research.
