Meet Thomas Looby

Throughout the past 15 years, Thomas Looby has chosen the projects that he takes part in very selectively.

There, among many duties, he was responsible for the worldwide market development of PillCam® and a number of medical devices. Previous to that, Thomas was the Director of Business Strategy and Global Product Marketing at Eastman Kodak (formerly Scitex Digital Printing), where he directed the worldwide marketing of high technology imaging products. Furthermore, Thomas was the General Manager of Robotic Measurement Products at Thyseenkrup, managing a 21 million dollar division the included marketing, sales operations, engineering, product development, and customer service.

Regardless of the project, Thomas Looby has found that there is one thing that must be in order to secure any level of success: great teams. Thomas believes that “No matter how good a product may be or how dedicated each individual is, without a strong team, goals either will take too long to achieve or perhaps never be achieved.” He is incredibly proud to have led some of the best teams in the medical industry.

He utilizes his passion for the work by frequently appearing as a keynote presenter and speaker all around the world. Thomas’ travels for work have taken him to places such as the United Kingdom and China where he’s been present at Vodofone loT, WeaRaCon, and many other investor conferences.

Thomas Looby is passionate about the work he does in the medical device technology sector. He is driven by his desire to help other people get their inventions to succeed once they hit the market and understands the careful consideration of marketing and business development, commercialization, and general healthcare strategies.
