“Helping Teams See the Full Pyramid to Build Stronger Foundations Together”

With a career spanning over three decades, Grant Sadler has cemented his place as a transformative leader in global healthcare marketing. Specializing in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, Grant has brought innovation and clarity to some of the industry’s most complex marketing challenges. His leadership has been pivotal in the launch and market expansion of over a dozen cardiovascular products across the globe, driving strategic growth in diverse regulatory environments from Asia to the Americas. Known for his collaborative spirit and tactical acuity, Grant brings a unique blend of analytical thinking and emotional intelligence to every boardroom and project he enters.

Grant’s journey began with a strong foundation in communication and literature—earning a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Flagler College, followed by a Master of Arts in Organizational Communication from the University of Colorado. These academic pursuits honed his ability to articulate ideas, influence diverse stakeholders, and cultivate high-performing teams. His thesis on “Kaizen in U.S. Manufacturing” reflects an early interest in continuous improvement—a philosophy that continues to guide his strategic mindset today.

He later enhanced his leadership toolkit with an MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Silberman College of Business. This blend of communication, strategic management, and academic rigor laid the groundwork for a career defined by dynamic product growth, international market entry, and cross-cultural collaboration. Over the years, Grant has worked with some of the most recognizable names in healthcare, including Bracco Imaging, Getinge Group, Datascope, and Johnson & Johnson’s Cordis division.

As Senior Director of CEUS Marketing at Bracco Imaging, Grant revitalized the LUMASON® product line. With a $3 million budget and a lean team, he led a rebranding effort that directly challenged a market giant—capturing 20% of the market and driving revenue to $50 million. His strategic overhaul of Bracco’s digital ecosystem allowed the company to bypass traditional advertising costs, instead drawing customers through rich clinical content. Grant also spearheaded product development efforts that increased operational efficiency and reduced unit costs, showcasing his ability to balance creativity with operational excellence.

Prior to Bracco, Grant had a long and impactful tenure at the Getinge Group (parent of Maquet and Datascope), where he played several vital roles. As Senior Director of Portfolio Management, he led sales and service units across Asia, optimized regional marketing playbooks, and drove a 20% revenue uptick in legacy markets. His ability to marry global strategy with local execution was key to retaining and expanding markets in China and India. In an earlier role, Grant managed a team of product managers during an organizational restructuring, aligning front-end innovation with the firm’s business goals—efforts that were instrumental in a $2.2 billion acquisition initiative.

During his time as International Area Sales Director, Grant proved his mettle in field operations. He integrated 30 dealers in Japan, introduced direct sales elements into a semi-direct model, and led the launch of the world’s first fiber-optic sensing IAB catheter in Japan. This innovation not only advanced patient care but also secured reimbursement from Japan’s Ministry of Health. His contributions were recognized with the exclusive use of a Mercedes Benz CS300—an acknowledgment of his exceptional overseas performance.

Earlier in his career, Grant held senior positions at Cordis (Johnson & Johnson), where he drove U.S. growth strategies in vascular markets and managed a $150 million product line. His knack for understanding physician needs led to the development of practical tools like a compatibility sizing guide, which improved inventory workflow and earned him multiple performance awards. At Datascope, he oversaw a $180 million product line, trained international sales teams, and boosted revenues with fiber-optic catheter innovations—laying the groundwork for the global success of many cardiovascular products still in use today.

A common thread throughout Grant’s career has been his ability to navigate complexity with strategic foresight. Whether working with regulatory bodies, leading cross-functional teams, or entering foreign markets, he demonstrates an intuitive grasp of both macroeconomic shifts and nuanced customer dynamics. His marketing playbooks and GTM strategies consistently reflect his ability to distill intricate challenges into actionable paths forward.

Beyond his corporate achievements, Grant is a values-driven leader who deeply believes in mentorship and team development. He draws on his own experiences of success and failure to guide rising professionals, ensuring they understand the real effort behind true innovation. This humanistic perspective is especially evident in his involvement with Hargrave Military Academy, where he serves on the Board of Trustees—committed to nurturing the next generation of leaders.

Grant’s personal interests, such as playing tennis and prioritizing family, serve as reminders of the well-rounded perspective he brings to his work. He understands that leadership isn’t just about quarterly growth—it’s about fostering environments where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to succeed. With extensive international experience across APAC, India, Europe, and the Americas, Grant continues to serve as a valuable advisor for organizations looking to expand, optimize, and innovate in today’s dynamic healthcare landscape.
