The MaxWell Collective
Engineers, scientists, physicians and builders who share one conviction: cardiac care has accepted destruction as the cost of progress for too long. We’re developing a non-destructive future for people living with AF and HFpEF, and we hold ourselves to a higher line to get there.
One team. One rhythm. One mission.
Randy Werneth
Randy leads the Collective with a founder's instinct sharpened across multiple medtech ventures, and he'll tell you this one is the most exciting and challenging yet. Ownership is taken here, starting with him.
Timothy Corvi
Our master maestro of product development. Tim brings 20+ years engineering breakthrough devices in cardiology and electrophysiology, and he builds boldly without compromising integrity.
Derrick Chou, PhD
Our spark and brainiac. Formerly CTO at Acutus Medical, Derrick finds what the rest of us miss. A mind for creative problem-solving, wired for the Collective's shared pursuit of healing over harm.
Ben Coppola, PhD
Our first responder. Ben charts the course to treat AF at its source, working to restore rhythm without destroying tissue. The first to notice is the first to act, and Ben does this well.
David Higham
Our circuit whisperer. With 15+ years turning circuits into cleared devices, David is equally comfortable elbow deep in a bench test or steering system level validation. Precision meets imagination at every connection he touches.
Walter Bomela, PhD
Our pulse keeper. Walter keeps every heartbeat in sync, blending deep technical expertise with creative flair. He is proof that imagination and integrity aren't opposites.
Eric Leonardis, PhD
Our autonomic architect. With a PhD in cognitive science and postdoctoral work in computational neurobiology, Eric is teaching Rhythm360 to sense, decide, and act. He brings the rigor used to map the brain's circuitry to the heart's, one rhythm at a time.
Gary Currie
Our bridge-builder. Gary carries the epicardial lead and delivery system from first sketch all the way to the manufacturing floor, with the kind of rigor and independence that makes hard problems look inevitable. Ownership means staying until the job is truly, properly done.
J. Chris Flaherty
Our sentinel. Chris turns complex ideas into actionable patent strategies, and fuels the Collective's work to protect the revolution happening in cardiac care. What we build together deserves to be defended together.
