Annette McClellan
I am a medical device entrepreneur with a passion for mentoring startup companies. As the chief executive and operational officer for my first startup, I was responsible for the funding, device development and ultimately the acquisition of the Daisyclip permanent contraceptive device by Hologic (HOLX). Now I apply my experience to develop business, financing and product strategy with startup companies in their critical early funding stages by taking on key management roles, including Acting CEO, Director, Advisor or Consultant.
