BioSig Technologies Inc., a medical device company developing a proprietary biomedical signal processing platform designed to address an unmet technology need for the $4.6 billion electrophysiology (EP) marketplace, announced the company has formed an Advisory Board to complement the existing Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board.
The goal of the newly formed board is to advise the leadership of BioSig on a range of subjects, including strategy, marketing, government affairs, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, and capital markets. The board will be limited to nine members and will consist of thought leaders in business, finance, healthcare and high technology industries.
The first two Advisory Board members are Kent Bennett Williams, CEO and principal of Vista Asset Management LLC and executive advisor to Sherpa Technology Group; and Dr. Ramachandra Malya, M.D., a medical director and leading nephrologist.
Williams brings over 30 years of experience in capital markets, strategic investments and business development across the life science, automotive and technology sectors. Most recently, Williams served as an independent director and adviser to private and public companies such as Sherpa Technology Group, Ener-Core, ViZn Energy Systems, ZAF Energy Systems and ITUS Corporation. He provided strategic counsel at Merrill Lynch & Co. and was appointed vice chairman of the American Stock Exchange ITAC Committee. William’s contributions to BioSig will continue to be in the areas of intellectual property creation and strategy, financing strategy, shareholder development, and manufacturing.
“BioSig team has developed a platform technology with significant business and industrial applications. In my extensive investment career, I have only seen a handful of these come along, and I’m delighted to contribute my expertise to further enhance BioSig business development,” commented Williams.
Malya brings to BioSig over 40 years of experience in the medical field. His strong business acumen has allowed Malya to serve as founding board member of several successful healthcare entities and two Texas savings banks with valuations in excess of $1 billion. Throughout his career, Malya raised capital for a number of promising healthcare startups and managed a family office funds with extensive medical relationships. Malya is a diplomate of American Board of Internal Medicine and American College of Managed Care Medicine.
“As a physician, I’ve always been drawn to novel clinical research, which aims to enhance patient care. The field of bioelectronic medicine is of special interest to me, and I’m very pleased to collaborate with BioSig and share my knowledge on clinical research and market penetration,” said Malya.
“We wanted to appoint a proactive Advisory Board, which brings fresh thinking, skills and expertise to enhance our company’s performance. Kent and Dr. Malya bring impressive career achievements, which will deliver immediate impact in the top priority areas of our business,” commented Kenneth L. Londoner, chairman and CEO of BioSig Technologies Inc.
