Growth inside regulated markets
Fractional CMO for Healthtech
Built the growth engine that took cnvrg.io to its acquisition by Intel.
I personally lead and implement growth work for healthtech companies around the actual buyer, product and approved evidence. A hospital procurement process, practitioner tool and consumer health app can need different journeys. We agree the research, content, campaigns, lifecycle and measurement work with the appropriate clinical, legal and product reviewers.
Israel healthtech: why I understand this market from the inside
An Israel-based healthtech company serving US or European buyers can need a different language, product-evidence and approval workflow from its internal operating discussion. I personally research and implement the agreed marketing work around the actual buyer and evidence.
The Israeli healthtech advantage is well-documented: deep medical AI capability, a culture of clinical-engineering collaboration coming out of IDF medical units and elite research hospitals like Sheba and Ichilov, and a startup ecosystem that produces clinical-grade products at speed. The go-to-market disadvantage is equally real: selling into US hospital systems or European health ministries from Tel Aviv requires a very different motion than selling into any other enterprise vertical.
I translate the approved product and clinical evidence into the agreed buyer-facing content, campaigns and sales material. The actual product, buyer and qualified reviewers determine what can be claimed and which proof is useful; the growth work connects those owners with personal implementation.
Beyond Israel, I work with healthtech companies globally: digital health startups in the US, medtech scale-ups in Germany, telehealth platforms across EMEA. The clinical buyer dynamic is similar across markets. The compliance constraints vary. I have worked inside both.
Your clinical, legal and product owners supply and approve the evidence and product claims used in marketing. I translate that material into the agreed buyer-facing content, campaign plan and sales handoff. Before release, we confirm audience, permitted data, access and approval responsibilities. The review records delivered work and observed response; marketing materials do not establish clinical efficacy or regulatory clearance.
Who is actually buying
Clinical and regulatory stakeholders: the CISO-equivalent problem in healthtech
The multi-stakeholder buy
- Healthtech deals involve clinical leadership, IT security (HIPAA/GDPR compliance is a gate, not a feature), procurement, and often a medical director or CMO who has veto power on anything touching clinical workflow. Generic demand generation that gets a VP of Digital Health excited does not close a deal when the CISO has not signed off on your data architecture and the clinical committee has not reviewed the evidence base.
- Go-to-market strategy for healthtech has to address every node in that buying committee. I build content, case studies, and sales enablement that maps to each stakeholder's specific objection - not a single message broadcast to “health system decision makers.”
Compliant demand generation
- HIPAA, GDPR, MDR, FDA 510(k) contexts - each imposes real constraints on what you can claim, how you can use customer data for targeting, and what “evidence” means in a go-to-market context. I have worked with companies where standard retargeting was off the table because of patient data concerns, where email sequences required legal review at every step, and where “case study” meant a peer-reviewed abstract rather than a customer logo and a quote.
- I build the agreed evidence-led content, campaigns and sales material from claims approved by the responsible owners. Clinical publications, events, customer evidence or paid acquisition may each serve different buyer questions. Their contribution and time to impact need actual observation rather than a universal claim that one produces more durable pipeline.
The evidence-first go-to-market
- Healthcare buyers do not move on hype. They move on proof. That means the growth strategy has to be built backward from the clinical evidence: what outcomes does the product produce, how are those outcomes measured, and how does that evidence get in front of the right committee at the right moment in their buying process?
- I translate approved evidence into the selected buyer-facing assets and journeys and personally implement the agreed work. We identify the relevant stakeholders, decision steps, measures and observation window. A publication or clinical result can support a product claim but does not automatically establish faster sales or easier conversion.
Attribution in long-cycle B2B
- Set the review window and source definitions from the actual buying cycle. I personally build the agreed campaign, journey and measurement work and connect eligible marketing and customer records where permitted. Multi-touch reporting allocates credit under documented rules; unknown journeys and unresolved causal explanations remain explicit.

Fit check
The healthtech companies I work with
Strong fit
- Digital health platforms selling into US or European hospital systems. Medical AI companies with clinical evidence that is not being communicated effectively. Israeli healthtech companies building their first US or EU go-to-market. Telehealth and remote patient monitoring companies with a proven clinical product and a broken or absent demand generation motion. Series A to Series C - past proof of concept, needing to build scalable pipeline.
Not the right fit
- Consumer health, early-stage and enterprise products can each need different marketing work. We can scope personal research, positioning, conversion, lifecycle, acquisition or measurement around the actual task. Primary clinical, regulatory or medical-device strategy belongs with the qualified owners and advisers; marketing delivery does not establish clinical efficacy or clearance.

FAQ
Fractional CMO for healthtech: common questions
Do you have clinical domain expertise?
I am a growth operator, not a clinician. My expertise is in building go-to-market systems that work inside regulated environments and for clinical buyers. I understand the compliance constraints, the buying committee dynamics, and the evidence standards healthtech buyers apply. I work with clinical advisors and medical affairs teams to make sure the product claims are accurate. I own the go-to-market architecture and the revenue outcome.
How do you handle HIPAA compliance in marketing?
We agree permitted data and source access with the responsible privacy, legal and product owners before implementation. HHS guidance addresses the use and disclosure of protected health information for marketing and its authorization requirements and exceptions. I personally build approved content, campaigns and journeys within the agreed scope; audience labels alone do not establish that a use is permitted.
What does a fractional CMO engagement look like for a healthtech company?
Diagnostic is my personal inspection of the agreed funnel, customer, campaign and measurement evidence, with a findings record and prioritized plan. Operator combines senior leadership and agreed personal implementation. We set authorized access, delivery checkpoints and observation windows for the scope. You keep the diagnostic findings whether or not we continue; see the engagement models for the choices.
Do you work with Israeli healthtech companies expanding internationally?
Yes, this is a specific competence. The Israeli healthtech export challenge is well-defined: strong clinical evidence, limited brand presence in target markets, a sales motion that relies heavily on personal networks rather than systematic demand generation. I have helped Israeli technology companies build the credibility infrastructure - case studies, thought leadership, conference presence, analyst relations - that US and European health system buyers need before they will engage. The Diagnostic engagement is designed to show you exactly where your international go-to-market is breaking.
Which healthtech companies are a strong fit, and which are not?
Fit depends on the buyer, product evidence, resources, authorized access and work needed. I can personally deliver agreed research, positioning, acquisition, conversion, lifecycle and measurement for consumer or enterprise healthtech. Qualified clinical, privacy, legal and regulatory owners retain their approval responsibilities. Advice-only support is a separate Advisory engagement.
What does an evidence-first go-to-market mean for a healthtech company?
It means using approved product evidence to answer the actual buyer’s questions and identifying what that evidence does and does not support. I personally develop and implement the selected content, campaigns and journey work with the relevant reviewers. We evaluate delivered assets and observed response separately; no fixed comparison with paid acquisition or guaranteed sales effect is implied.
What happens on the 15-minute scoping call?
The call helps define your healthtech decision, available approved evidence and the personal investigation or implementation needed. We agree authorized access, scope, reviewers and first checkpoints before reaching an evidenced diagnosis. Regulatory and clinical conclusions remain with the qualified owners.
Is there a minimum term, and how do I end the engagement?
There is no minimum term. Engagements are month-to-month, and either side can end the engagement with 30 days notice. Ending a fractional engagement involves no severance. Scope and exit terms are agreed before we start. If progress stalls, we review the scope and next steps under the agreed contract terms.
