We are seeking an entrepreneurial CEO for PelviSure, which aims to address a significant unmet need in women’s health: safe and effective treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). SUI affects millions of women worldwide, limiting their daily activities, confidence, and overall quality of life.

Our advanced biomimetic urethral sling, made from a biocompatible material that mimics natural tissue, is designed to integrate seamlessly with the body, offering women a safer, more effective solution. By reducing risks and improving patient outcomes, this breakthrough innovation has the potential to restore quality of life and confidence for women around the world.
The Position
As the CEO of PelviSure, you will drive the venture from its current preclinical stage through clinical development, regulatory approval, and market launch. Backed by NLC Health Ventures, you’ll collaborate closely with our dedicated inventor team and strategic partners to bring this life-changing technology to patients. We are seeking a dynamic leader with a strong MedTech background and a genuine passion for creating meaningful patient impact.
