In Ireland, the WXN is the largest network of female senior executives, managers and entrepreneurs, with over 2,500 members.
Bronwyn says: “I joined Medtronic in April 2014 as Vice President, Early Technologies, Europe. Having worked in the medical device industry for 19 years I have to admit that my current role encompasses all of the things that I enjoy doing – developing new businesses, driving growth, building high-performance teams, and bringing new therapies to market that can change the standard of care and deliver better patient outcomes.”
It’s all about your team and the people around you
