In our final episode of 2020, we speak with Scott Phillips president of Victoria-based Starfish Medical — one of Canada’s leading medical device design service providers. Scott shares some stories from their 21 years in business, outlining how they moved from one growth plateau to another, how his leadership role evolved and the significance that operational systems had in their success.
He speaks about how the recognition of Starfish in their industry resulted in a contract to manufacture 7,500 units of the Winnipeg Ventilator 2.0, a made in Canada ICU ventilator and explains a few other ways in which the pandemic is impacting Starfish.
