About

Tammy began her career in medical devices as an engineer for Valtech (now a part of Edwards Life Science), which developed solutions for mitral valve repair. Soon after leaving Valtech she pursued her own device ideas and eventually founded Laminate Medical with Dr. Eyal Orion in 2012 to help surgeons make better functioning fistulas. She led the engineering and design efforts in the early days of the company to create VasQ, Laminate’s flagship product. Since then she has raised 10’s of millions of dollars from a diverse array of investors to build a global team that is bringing VasQ to markets around the world. She has also continued the company’s investment in new product development to improve fistula function in parallel with efforts to gain VasQ regulatory clearance in North America and Asia-Pacific.

Anthony brings over a decade of experience in commercializing medical devices, primarily in the vascular access market. After receiving his PhD in Bioenigineering from the University of Washington, Anthony worked as a product specialist at Gore navigating the VIABAHN™ Stent Graft through the final stages of the REVISE study, FDA clearance and initial market launch of the new dialysis access indication. He also worked at St. Jude Medical (now Abbott) to develop the launch strategy for MultiPoint Pacing for their Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy devices. He transitioned back to vascular access with TVA Medical to help gain FDA clearance and develop the market for the endovascular fistula (endoAVF) creation. He stayed on at Becton Dickinson for a year after TVA’s acquisition to help launch endoAVF into the U.S. market and train both the internal team as well as physicians on the device and new procedure. He joined Laminate to continue his work on improving vascular access for dialysis patients by bringing VasQ as well as other innovations in the company’s pipeline to market.
