Driven by the belief:
better training means better outcomes.
LITLab was founded with the experience to execute, and is backed by an advisory board of accomplished healthcare and MedTech leaders.
CO-FOUNDER + CEO
Lindsay Truax, MBA
Lindsay brings 15+ years of MedTech commercial experience - including eight years at Intuitive Surgical embedded alongside OR teams - and a Healthcare MBA from the University of St. Thomas, where she graduated with highest honors and won first place in the Schulze School of Entrepreneurship's Business Plan Competition with the concept that became LITLab.
She has lived the adoption bottleneck from the inside: the overcrowded training calendars, the inadequate spaces, the fragmented team learning. LITLab is the infrastructure she spent her career wishing existed.
