Peter Rule has been the CEO of OptiScan Biomedical (www.optiscancorp.com ) since 2006 and has served as Chairman of its Board of Directors since 2001.
Peter advises Back Bay Group and its affiliates on a host of healthcare and industry trends.
His grasp of operational, managerial and strategic issues is extremely valuable.
Before joining OptiScan Biomedical, Peter was the Chairman and CEO of EKOS Corporation.
During his tenure at EKOS he raised over $60 million in venture capital to re-direct product development efforts, resulting in the invention of the company’s peripheral vascular product line, which today generates tens of millions of dollars in revenues.
During this period of time, EKOS also conducted an ischemic stroke trial (IMS II) and pioneered a new therapy for the treatment of Hemorrhagic stroke, which has been published (“SLEUTH”).
EKOS was sold to BTG for ~$220 million in 2013.
Prior to EKOS, Peter was the Chairman, CEO and President of PercuSurge, Inc. Mr. Rule raised approximately $50 million for PercuSurge to develop the world’s first embolic protection system for use in interventional cardiology, documenting the product’s efficacy in numerous prospective trials, including a successful 1200 patient randomized trial (“SAFER”) that today remains the largest trial in interventional cardiology run by a venture backed company.
During Peter’s leadership, PercuSurge obtained CE approval and was recommended unanimously for U.S.
approval by a panel (which was subsequently granted).
PercuSurge was sold to Medtronic for ~$250 million in 2001.
Prior to PercuSurge, Peter was the President of MiniMed, Inc. He has over 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry and received his B.S in Economics from the University of Southern California, as well as an MBA from Harvard University.
