LifeScience Alley chief tapped to lead organization.
November 2, 2015
By: Michael Barbella
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) has tapped Shaye Mandle to chair the association’s State Medical Technology Alliance. Mandle is president and CEO of LifeScience Alley, the largest state-based health technology trade association, representing Minnesota’s Medical Alley region.
The State Medical Technology Alliance (SMTA) is a consortium of state and regional trade associations representing their local medical technology companies. SMTA’s mission is to collectively advocate on behalf of the medical technology industry on the local, state and national levels by fostering a collaborative environment through sharing of best practices, promoting the industry and advocating for public policies that support innovation.
“The medical technology industry is a hallmark of U.S. innovation represented by a community of people dedicated to improving and saving lives,” Mandle said in prepared remarks. “Now more than ever, medical technology has the opportunity to help deliver better and more affordable care to patients worldwide. The efforts of SMTA members are critical to providing our elected leaders with the information needed to ensure the full national and global impact of this vital industry. It is an honor to have this opportunity to work together with our SMTA members, the team at AdvaMed, and our elected leaders to support our medical technology innovators in delivering life-changing innovations.” Mandle has served as president/CEO for LifeScience Alley since May 1, 2014. Previously, he was the association’s executive vice president and chief operating officer (COO), responsible for aligning internal operations with organizational strategy and overseeing advocacy efforts and key external relationships. Prior to his stint as executive vice president and COO, Mandle was vice president of Government and Affiliate Relations.
Mandle has nearly 20 years of experience in government, the private sector and academia, leading organizations, public affairs and political activities. Before joining LifeScience Alley, Mandle served as executive director of the FedEx Institute of Technology at the University of Memphis (Tennessee), where he launched and oversaw the University Office of Technology Transfer and led the university’s corporate partnership, entrepreneurship and economic development programming. Mandle also has led business development and government affairs for the Reconnaissance and Surveillance Operation of Science Applications International Corporation, a Fortune 500 company specializing in defense and homeland security technologies. “I look forward to Shaye’s leadership as we advance policies to help ensure timely patient access to medical innovations and highlight the important role our industry plays as an engine of medical and economic progress,” said J.C. Scott, AdvaMed’s senior executive vice president of government affairs. “The SMTA has consistently supported the medical technology industry on the federal, state and local levels, an industry that helps patients live longer, healthier lives while lowering long-term healthcare costs.”
Mandle has served as the chief executive of two industry and economic development organizations: the East-West Corporate Corridor Association and the Illinois Coalition. He has extensive policy and political experience, having managed state and federal political campaigns and having served on the policy staff of former U.S. House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (the longest-serving GOP House speaker in history) and former Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar. Mandle has a juris doctor from the Duquesne University Law School in Pittsburgh, Pa., and a B.A. from Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Ill.
