Cofounders Fritz and Tom are grizzled veterans with over 20 years apiece
in their respective fields of software development and healthcare delivery.
They are both “nuts and bolts” sort of guys who enjoy solving
everyday operational type problems by innovative means. They started by
joining forces to tackle the following challenge: How do we integrate what
we view as breakthrough technology of the Tablet PC into the everyday work
flow of the practicing physician (as well as other healthcare workers)?
Fritz founded and operates his own company devoted solely to creating software products for the Tablet PC. His medical dictionary products are sold throughout the world in different languages. A national speaker on development and implementation of Tablet rollouts and ROI, Fritz has achieved Microsoft MVP status for Tablet PC.
Tom is a decidedly non-computer guy. After being frustrated by a number of computer systems he was forced to use in his ER environments, he decided to try to figure out something that might help rather than hinder efforts in the trenches of healthcare delivery.
Tom’s background in healthcare is unusually broad. Currently practicing as an ER doc, he has also worked as an in-house critical care doc and a general internist. Tom has worked in more than 20 different hospitals in his practice career spanning more than 20 years. He is particularly noted for his lean and efficient clinical practice style.
Always interested in the business side of medicine, Tom was consistently
involved in all phases of the business activities of the large multi-specialty
group that he was a partner in for more than ten years. He has been an executive
in a publicly traded Physician Management firm and done healthcare management
consulting along the way as well.
Ravi comes from a strong IT background with a Master's degree in Computer
Science along with 7 technical conference publications. He has over 10 years
of programming experience with 6 years of professional experience with Microsoft
technologies. Ravi is very experienced in Tablet PC development, medical
software development (including PACS), and he developed document management
software for digitizing several types of offices including banks and hospitals.
Also, Ravi enjoys working out new logic and algorithms for creating new
and innovative technologies, just what we need for the Mach 2 team.
Chris comes from an engineering background with a Master's in aerospace engineering. After 15 years of analyzing and designing propulsion systems for military and commercial aircraft he decided to refocus his career to software development. Chris has worked the last 7 years primarily in web development using Java, php and .net and several databases including Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL. His broad based background will be a key for the Mach 2 projects that cover and utilize many different technologies. Chris also has experience in project management and marketing strategies for small businesses.
Marty brings to the team a broad set of business building experiences, most recently as the Sr. Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of a $1.3 billion operating unit comprised of over 1,000 retail stores. After 3 years in public accounting, Marty jumped to the private industry side of the fence and has worked in wholesale, retail, manufacturing and international sourcing parts of the business.
Over the course of his career Marty has had leadership responsibilities
in virtually all aspects of the business including operational planning
and execution, information technology, product planning and allocation,
distribution and logistics, human resources, organizational development,
store operations and rapid "test and learn". An integral part
of these roles has been participation in the development of brand strategy
and operating plans as well as leading the enterprise through successful
implementation.
