Paul Allard
Bethlehem,NH
Summary
Founder, Healthcare Executive, and Nurse Leader with 11+ years building and leading a regulated life sciences organization from the ground up. I bring perspective from direct patient care, mental health nursing, MedTech clinical trials, and years of coaching and developing people. I understand that patients don’t just power clinical trials, they determine whether products succeed in the real world, and that patient care begins the moment a new medical product is conceived and developed. A people-first leader, I translate complex regulatory and business realities into clear strategy and build teams that execute with trust, cohesion, and purpose.
