Zage joins Bongiovi Medical Health and Technologies

Bongiovi Medical Health and Technologies has a healthcare industry veteran managing its partnerships now. The company has named Garry Zage senior vice president of strategic partnerships and tasked him with leading the next phase of growth — which includes strategic and financial partnerships. 

“I am extremely excited to join the Bongiovi Labs team and assist with the expansion of the audio diagnostic technologies into healthcare,” Zage said. “Bongiovi has a dedicated business unit that has successfully demonstrated the value of audio-related applications in medicine. They have developed proprietary hardware designs, audio processing software and artificial intelligence solutions specifically for healthcare. The opportunity to enhance patient outcomes while reducing the overall healthcare spend is significant with the adoption of Bongiovi’s patented processes.”

Zage started his career as a hospital pharmacist, moving later into a hospital administration executive role. He has spent 12 years with Baxter International in domestic and international senior management roles. In 2005, he purchased pharmacy automation company Kirby Lester, serving as CEO and president until 2014 when the company was acquired by Capsa Healthcare, which was sold to Levine Leichtman Capital Partners in 2017. Zage was president through September 2018, when he resigned to serve as an advisor to Capsa. 

“Garry is an experienced President/CEO who has a demonstrated history of success working in the healthcare, medical device, and pharmacy industries. He has 25 years of experience working with private equity groups in healthcare and has been involved with business development strategies in all of the healthcare verticals,” said Ron Simmons, managing director of Bongiovi. “We are very pleased to have Garry join our senior management team.”
