Testimonials
NDAs have their place, but at Ideas in Medicine, the most important thing in business: Trust!
Graeme is first of all a most professional, honest and sincere person. He is dedicated to business performance on an executive level where shareholders and profit is under constant forcus. Graeme delivers what he promise and in time.
Nevertheless his business habit and approach is one that do not tend to be affected by his basic understanding of business priorities. I have worked with this fine man and I highly recommend him to any new business case or business project.

Lars Magnus Mikkelsen Currently CEO at Mediq Norge AS
Graeme is a serial entrepreneur and sales professional that I have known for fifteen years and worked with on two large projects as well as other smaller endeavors. Graeme and I worked together first at US Surgical prior to its acquisition by Tyco (now Covidien). I was immediately impressed with Graeme’s work ethic, passion and knowledge of the medical device business. Above all, his sales expertise and intuition stood out. When he came to LMA to help manage our International sales and distribution he immediately made a very significant impact, traveling tirelessly across many countries to establish a fledgling business.
Graeme is quick-thinking and highly articulate and has the natural ability to be both a discerning and well balanced businessman and an amiable business partner able to cultivate trust and confidence quickly. He has an eye for markets and market opportunities and knows how to configure a sales team to capitalize quickly on these. Results speak for themselves and Graeme has time and again shown the invaluable ability to generate exceptional sales performance in any company, be it start up or established enterprise, and in any market in the world. I would welcome the chance to work with him again.
