Bio
Adam D. Shandler, CODC, CMF
I was privileged to bring Kim into Stryker Spine and his impact as a leader and knowledge expert grows every day. As a cross-functional partner, he really got behind my learning initiatives and talent selection methodologies, advocating participation with his team. Sharing a similar sense of humor, Kim and I still remain friends.

Kim came into Stryker not knowing much about spine or the KOL's in the space. As a direct report, this was not something I was excited about. However, Kim got up to speed extremely fast and became a trusted resource of mine almost right off the bat. He's a strong manager and has a keen business accumen. I look forward to working with again at some point in my career.
Anthony Perri
For about 5 years, Kim was a proven and trusted colleague of mine at BTBS (EBI). During the most robust and tedious of projects, he always rendered a profound vision on how to structure a spreadsheet or PPt. presentation to detail information in professional, understandable format for both executive and middle management. More importantly, Kim could present and apply all of his complicated products (deformity correction), in expert fashion, which earned him credibility and respect among engineers, surgeons, technical services personnel, the sales force, his peers and executive management. With his calm, cool manner, open mind and strong work ethic, Kim is a former colleague that I enjoyed working with and dearly miss. No matter the industry or company that employs him, he will be a true asset wherever he goes.
