Wendy Mackenzie Pease, President of Rapport International, interviews Alain Tranchemontagne, CEO of Alleviate, whose 30+ years in medical devices spans start-ups to Fortune 50 organizations. He has led teams across 5 continents, has held commercial and general management positions, and brings significant global experience in the areas of product and market development. He shares practical, battle-tested ways to enter new markets, build culturally diverse sales engines, and lead with data (and humility) across continents.
You’ll learn how to:
- Build global demand the right way: Identify and activate credible KOLs, hire a local “anchor” leader, measure activity early, and make fast keep/replace decisions—while respecting culture and language on the ground.
- Run a 90-day turnaround playbook: Weeks 0–12 = listen widely (patients, clinicians, data), co-create objectives with the team, then double down on what works using “data density” (lots of signals to see real patterns).
Go international without missteps: Sequence markets, map regulations and evidence needs, prioritize IP/trademarks, and treat translation as a regulated, technical task for pros—because “good enough” localization will bite you.
