Silicon Valley Talks: Mentorship
Join us for the first in a series of conversations hosted by the Silicon Valley Archives. The topic is mentorship. Three distinguished leaders in the field of medical technology with interlinked mentoring relationships will speak: John Simpson, whose invention of the over-the-wire catheter and entrepreneurship redefined interventional cardiology; Prof. Paul Yock, who developed a series of devices that revolutionized angioplasty and founded the Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign to train others in health technology innovation; and Kate Garrett, a former Stanford Biodesign Innovation Fellow who founded Ciel Medical out of the program and currently serves as Assistant Director of the Biodesign Innovation Fellowship and as a managing partner at Sonder Capital.
The conversation is led by Leslie Berlin, historian of the Silicon Valley Archives and author most recently of Troublemakers: Silicon Valley's coming of age (Simon & Schuster, 2017).
The event is sponsored by Stanford Libraries and the Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign.
