Advanced Scanners Inc. has named Douglas Fairbanks as its new chief operating officer. Fairbanks joins the executive team as the company shifts toward developing commercial solutions with market-leading medtech companies.
“Doug’s addition is further validation of our solution for our partners and investors. We are attracting A-players capable of delivering meaningful solutions at scale,” Advanced Scanners CEO/Co-Founder Jeff Levine said.
Fairbanks brings more than a decade of experience at the intersection of technology, surgical intervention, and commercialization. Most recently, he was global Strategic Marketing, Commercial Development director of Robotics for Johnson and Johnson MedTech’s orthopedics division. He was responsible for the first-in-human and global commercial effort for the Velys Surgical Robot.

“When I saw the technology that Advanced Scanners has developed, I immediately recognized its potential to impact patient outcomes. I believe this technology will irreversibly change surgical treatments for the better,” Fairbanks said. “This team has some of the most intelligent and driven folks I have ever met. I might only be more impressed by the technology, which is the best-kept secret in MedTech…but not for long.”
