Alexandre Guimond’s Experience

• R&D Director, Medical Unit

  Siemens Health Services

  (Medical Devices industry)

  June 2009 — Present (6 months)

  I currently manage the development team (medical experts and developers) behind the medical modules of our Hospital Information System (HIS). The team management aspect covers collaborators over 5 sites with both internal and external contractors. I am also instrumental in the elaboration of the development plans and products roadmaps.

• Scientific Consultant

  Mirada Medical

  (Medical Devices industry)

  September 2008 — Present (1 year 3 months)

  Having organized the R&D team of DOSIsoft, I started a new venture and helped create a UK company (Mirada Medical) focusing on medical imaging workstations for B2B markets (PACS, etc.). As a scientific consultant, I manage research tracks, in particular for registration technologies, and provide proofs of concepts for products to be demonstrated to potential clients.

• Director of R&D

  DOSIsoft

  (Privately Held; Medical Devices industry)

  June 2007 — August 2008 (1 year 3 months)

  Recruited from Siemens by the CEO of DOSIsoft in 2007, I was in charge of the R&D group that provided clinical software solutions for radiotherapy and other medical specialties (oncology, radiology, etc.). I implemented the Development Process and manage all development projects as well as a number of collaboration projects with industrials (Siemens, Medasys) and several hospitals (Curie, APHP, IGR, Pitié Salpétrière, etc.) and academics (CEA, INSERM, CNRS, INRIA, etc.). Aside from various executive responsibilities (board of directors, company representative, etc.) my role consisted primarily in organizing the R&D team and managing its growth from 10 to 20 engineers.

• Senior Scientist

  Siemens Medical Solutions (Molecular Imaging) / CTI / Mirada Solutions

  (Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; SI; Medical Devices industry)

  September 2002 — June 2007 (4 years 10 months)

  Recruited from Harvard by the CEO of Mirada Solutions in 2002, my role consisted of defining the strategic goals of the company and R&D group. I defined and managed research projects for Mirada / CTI / Siemens Molecular Imaging for clinical and preclinical environments in collaboration with internal (Princeton, Chicago, Malvern, etc.) and external (UCLA, Essen, CEA, Oxford, MGH) groups. I was also responsible for the architecture and technological developments in our image analysis product, as well as creating key intellectual property regarding registration and fusion technologies, the core functionality of most of our products. I was closely involved in the company strategic directions following acquisitions.

• Instructor in Radiology

  Harvard Medical School (Brigham & Women’s Hospital)

  (Educational Institution; 10,001 or more employees; HMS; Research industry)

  November 1999 — June 2002 (2 years 8 months)

  I joined Harvard Medical School and the Brigham & Women’s Hospital to lead the efforts to establish and develop the Center for Neurological Imaging (CNI), the imaging branch of the Center for Neurological Diseases. My responsibilities were to 1) establish multi-disciplinary research projects (radiology, neurology, physics, etc.) in image analysis and head these projects in collaboration with other institutes (MGH, INRIA, etc.), 2) secure funding of these projects through grants, and 3) manage the CNI IT infrastructure (computational resources, setup, redundancy, archiving and networking).
