Ten minutes with Tai
01What do you attribute your success to?
I definitely attribute my success to family and having the support that is needed in a field like this that's busy and unpredictable. Just being able to lean on the people that matter most has been crucial for me.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would say education is first and foremost. Networking is critical - whoever you're around, if they're doing something you're interested in, or if they're even around what you're interested in, talk to them and get to know them. I think networking for this industry specifically, aside from education and experience, is one of the major three factors. Just keep talking to people. As long as you're open to moving if needed - I was fortunate I didn't have to because Atlanta's such a big market, but sometimes you have to move if there's a job opening and you really want to break in. If you just keep talking to people, they're going to know someone that's looking. And if you're passionate about whatever it is you want to do, they're going to feel it when they talk to you, and they'll be like, wow, I really want that person on my team, someone that's going to go the extra mile. For people who say they want to get into medical devices but don't know which kind, I ask them what do you like to do and what do you find interesting, because spinal, GI, and cardiac are all different with different requirements. I think talking to as many people as you can is number one, after you do the basics. I've had people reach out on LinkedIn all the time asking how to break into the medical device space, and even if you don't think you're going to get the interview, just apply and keep applying. Just try it and just share your experience.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Right now, the biggest challenge is earning market share and achieving growth. It's a mature field that's been around a long time, so doctors are very familiar with our products and they understand the technology. The challenge is getting them to either use us more or switch to us. Sometimes it feels like we're trying to move the needle on things that isn't going to be moved because doctors kind of have their preference. It's great when we can work with a doctor who comes out of fellowship and train them on our products while they're in fellowship - that's been a successful approach for us.
