Bio
Marcie Hamilton
Kit leads the product team at Profusa. She synthesizes use cases and design inputs to create a product roadmap with the right device attributes and features. In order to successfully launch products, Kit: conducts customer interviews, manages user testing, allocates resources, performs market assessments, and translates business-to-technical requirements. She is also very strong cross-functionally. Kit develops regulatory approval pathways and leads teams through successful regulatory agency meetings and approval. On top of all of this, she is successful at planning for and running notified body audits and working closely at all times with quality affairs. With respect to clinical, Kit: writes protocols with thoughtful endpoints, obtains approval to run studies in various geographic locations, and launches and facilitates studies. She is great presenter due to her personal style and substance. Kit is a multi-talented and driven boss, mentor, and co-worker. I miss her collaborating with her!
Hooman Hafezi
Kit has a terrific combination of technical and management skills. We worked together on many projects for ~6 years, and she was consistently driven, energetic, and capable of leading teams and driving critical projects to completion under pressure and with limited resources. She also has a great ability to focus on the essential aspects of a problem and to communicate well and collaborate across functional disciplines (engineering, production, clinical, regulatory, business development).
