Emma Wright

Emma Wright is a customer-centric executive in Global MedTech leadership with over 25 years of experience in medical devices in both start-up and international companies based in the UK, the US, and, most recently, in Sweden. Her career has focused on the development, commercialization, and clinical adoption of devices in wound care, reconstructive surgery, and orthopaedics, with a specific interest in products that actively promote tissue repair. Emma’s drive is steered by the challenge of bench-to-bedside transfer of innovation, leading her to spend the last decade driving clinical, medical, and health economic and government affairs, with a passion for improving clinical and economic outcomes for the physician, payer, and, most importantly, the patient. Throughout her career, she has seen many innovative technologies fail to overcome market access hurdles, whether regulatory or reimbursement. Then, those that are successful are not always adopted into the standard of care, meaning an opportunity to improve patients’ lives is lost. With an entrepreneurial spirit, she is an ardent advocate for change in health care and ensuring the patient’s voice is heard and represented.
