All Home Care Matters was honored to welcome Nima Ahmadi & Julie Roskamp from The Wound Company as guests to the show.

 

About Nima Ahmadi:

 

Nima Ahmadi is a proven healthcare entrepreneur and executive whose personal mission to bring effective and dignified care to wound and ostomy patients has driven his career. His unique background and professional experience position him with an unmatched ability to drive impactful innovation in the industry. Prior to co-founding The Wound Company, Nima worked as Head of Strategic Ventures and Digital Products at Cardiovascular System Inc, a global medical device company focused on peripheral vascular disease, wound care, amputation prevention, and coronary artery disease.

 

Before this Nima was the VP of Product at Icario, a health action company to improve health outcomes, which he pivoted and grew from 0 to 15 million Medicare Advantage and Medicaid patients under management for the top health plans. Nima graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Biomedical Computation and went on to receive two master's degrees in Bioengineering and Business Administration. Before beginning his studies, Nima lost an uncle to complications with lower extremity wounds.

 

The experience inspired him to go to Guatemala to build prosthetic implants for diabetic patients with foot wounds so they wouldn’t suffer a similar fate. This is what ignited his passion for finding a better way to treat and heal people who suffer from wounds and inspired his educational and professional career.
