Craig Warner has been in the medical device field for over 40 years, primarily responsible for sales at some of the most prestigious technology companies in the US and Europe. After graduating from Carleton College in Minnesota with distinction in biology, he began his career at Zimmer as a sales representative, selling orthopedic implants and associated instrumentation. Following that, he was with Carl Zeiss Inc. for over 15 years on the surgical microscope side of the business, promoted from sales rep to Marketing Director to Regional Sales Manager.
After Zeiss, Craig moved on to Allergan/Advanced/Alcon Medical Optics (AMO) as a top-producing Region Sales Director, building and leading successful teams and winning RSM of the Year twice, never falling below second place in 10 years! Leadership opportunities subsequently came at Reichert (Global Sales Director), Alimera Sciences (VP of Sales), BioTissue (National Sales Director) and most recently Iridex (VP of Sales for Glaucoma) where quotas were consistently achieved and often exceeded. Craig is passionate about ophthalmology and optometry, veering only once in his career away from those fields where he was a Region Sales Manager at Guidant (Cardiac Rhythm Management) for three years prior to being acquired by Boston Scientific.
Craig is married and has two daughters. He loves history, playing racquetball, and traveling extensively with his family!
