Top Talent Accelerant

To our Top Talent community,

As we close out this year, we’ve been reflecting on the people behind the titles—
the leaders carrying teams through uncertainty,
the hiring managers making tough calls,
and the candidates quietly preparing for the conversations that could change their careers and families.

If you’re connected here, you’re part of that story—and we want to say thank you.

This year across MedTech and related industries, we’ve watched:

- Leaders choose integrity over shortcuts
- Companies take hiring seriously, looking for the right fit, not just a fast one
- Professionals step into roles that align with their values, skills, and long-term vision, not just a job description

From Darwin and the entire Top Talent Accelerant team, it’s been an honor to:

- Sit in the real conversations about who gets trusted to lead and why
- Help build teams that actually work—not just on paper, but in culture and ex*****on
- Support you through transitions, restructures, new launches, and career-defining moves

As we head into a new year, our hope for you is simple:

That your work feels meaningful, not just busy

That you’re surrounded by people who value character as much as competence

That the next season of your career moves you closer to the impact you know you’re capable of

From Darwin and all of us at Top Talent Accelerant to you and your families:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🎁
May you find real rest, joy, and fresh clarity for what’s next.

With gratitude,
Darwin Shurig & the Top Talent Accelerant Team

A reminder as we head into a new week:
Great leaders don’t just direct — they listen, support, and elevate their teams.

At TTA, we believe leadership potential is one of the most powerful things you can hire for.

Skills get the job done.
Leadership moves the mission forward.

Have a productive week ahead!

Throwing it back to an incredible week at the LSX World Congress in London — a powerful reminder of how mission, vision, and strong leadership shape success in medtech.

On our panel, we discussed how great ideas and technology matter, but great leadership and culture are what truly move products to market. Hearing Zack Lyon share his journey and passion for advancing women’s health was a highlight.

Key takeaways:
• Strong leadership accelerates commercialization
• Culture matters during investor evaluation
• The right executives reduce risk and increase momentum

Grateful for the insights, conversations, and connections. Excited for what’s ahead.

Sometimes the best innovators are the ones who come from outside the industry.

Zack Lyon spent decades in aerospace, nuclear systems & EV technology — then solved his own pelvic pain problem as “patient zero”… and built a MedTech company.

Fresh eyes challenge assumptions.
Fresh eyes create new categories.
Fresh eyes change lives.

This is why TTA invests in talent who bring perspective — not just pedigree.

12/11/2025

The strongest teams aren’t built on technical brilliance alone —
they’re built on people who communicate, collaborate, and lead with integrity.

In our conversation with Zack Lyon, one message stood out:
The right hire transforms the organization, not just the org chart.

This is the foundation of the TTA Executive Search process.

Pelvic pain patients aren’t “difficult.” They’re underserved.

Most suffer quietly for months, get minimal time with clinicians, and are left with temporary fixes — not solutions.

Zack explains why pelvic pain is chronically overlooked, and how H3’s home-based therapy restores dignity, control, and real relief.

This is innovation where it matters most: where people feel most alone.

12/09/2025

The right talent does more than meet job requirements —
they strengthen communication, culture, and long-term performance.

Zack Lyon highlights a core truth:
People who think strategically, collaborate well, and bring mature problem-solving skills create organizational momentum.

At TTA, we help companies identify and attract leaders who offer:
✔ Emotional intelligence
✔ Accountability
✔ Cross-functional awareness
✔ Purpose-driven decision-making
✔ Cultural alignment

This is hiring with intention.
This is Top Talent Accelerant.

“Innovation starts where pain lives — literally.”

When CEO Zack Lyon suffered a severe pelvic condition with no real solutions, he used his aerospace + EV engineering background to invent one.

Today, H3 Pelvic Therapy Systems is redefining relief for millions suffering in silence — through safe, science-driven, home-based therapy.

At TTA, we highlight founders who take a personal struggle… and build world-changing innovation.

The September LSX Medtech World Congress in Boston was the first conference that Top Talent Accelerant sponsored after the company was rebranded.

Orthogonal interviewed me on the rebranding of SSI and the SaaS Jeremy Vogt and I have been building through Launchpad and Ai4Process over the past year. Randy Horton is not only a great persom but an industry powerhouse in testing and product development for FDA compliant digital products for over 25 years. I was humbled to be invited!

it was an exciting conversation. This journey is not boring or for the faint of heart 🤔🫣😅

However, I am having a blast getting to sit in the seat of a creator, after having watched so many leaders do it over the last seven years of my immersion in the Medtech startup world.

We are currently doing testing and two weeks out from piloting the product. It is going to be exciting to see what God brings in 2026!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

How a new approach to candidate experience and culture fit is helping MedTech companies improve hiring, retention, and efficiency.

As the week resets, this is a powerful reminder for every organization:

Clarity isn’t just communication—it’s alignment, trust, and shared purpose.

And when teams operate with that level of clarity, real impact follows.

Whether you’re building products, teams, or companies, stay grounded in the work that matters and the people who make it possible.

Here’s to another week of moving forward with intention.

11/22/2025

A quick throwback with Jeremy Vogt, TTA’s Chief Strategy & Staff Officer — and a key force behind our transformation from SSI to Top Talent Accelerant.

As we finalize the new TTA platform, the momentum is incredible. With our team capturing the journey and our collaboration with Quality Means Business and Concise Engineering, we’re building something that will reshape how MedTech approaches talent, leadership, and product development.

Grateful for Jeremy’s leadership, insight, and integrity throughout this process. From our Marian Knights days to now leading a breakthrough SaaS evolution — it’s been an amazing journey, and we’re just getting started.

“What’s next?”

When I asked Mike Loiterman about future opportunities, his answer was simple: he’s open — but especially where AI and innovation meet MedTech.

From startups to global corporations, Mike’s career has spanned every scale and product type.

But one thing drives him now: bringing leading-edge technology into meaningful impact.

Curiosity. Flexibility. Innovation. That’s how top leaders stay ahead.
