Providence Business News Editor Mark Murphy joins Rhode Island Public Radio’s Dave Fallon for our weekly business segment The Bottom Line.
This week, Mark and Dave sit down with Ximedica President and CEO Randy Barko. The medical device developer has just announced the acquisition of California-based Bridge Design.
Barko explains how the expansion will affect Ximedica’s workforce in Rhode Island, and how the company has found success by courting a global clientele. When it comes to growing the state’s medical technology industry, Barko says Rhode Island should consider the regional as a whole, not just the state.
