Evolving the Sales Model with Product Maturity: Interview with AVITA Medical CEO James Corbett

In this episode of Medsider Radio, we had a really engaging conversation with James (Jim) Corbett, CEO of AVITA Medical.

AVITA Medical’s RECELL system uses Spray-On Skin Cell technology to accelerate healing for patients with severe burns and wounds.

Jim brings nearly 40 years of medical device leadership experience to AVITA Medical. His career spans global commercial and operational roles, including President of Boston Scientific and General Manager of Scimed Life Systems. Jim has served as CEO of six companies, including three publicly traded entities — Microtherapeutics, ev3, and Alphatec Spine — as well as CathWorks, Home Diagnostics, and Vertos Medical.

In this interview, Jim shares lessons from a career spanning global medtech leadership positions — including the importance of hands-on fundraising, adapting sales strategies as products mature, and how generating clinical evidence beyond FDA requirements serves commercial adoption.
