The Speed Paradox: Why “Moving Faster” in Medtech Often Slows You Down

Every medtech leader is feeling the pressure to accelerate. But across the industry, a clear pattern is emerging: the harder organizations push for speed, the more they unintentionally slow themselves down. 

In this conversation, Bryan Gilpin, President, Suntra MedTech Solutions, and Terri Kapur, an experienced R&D leader, unpack what’s really happening beneath the “go faster” mandate and why it so often backfires. 

They’ll explore: 

• Why acceleration efforts fail when the foundation isn’t there 
• The hidden barriers to speed—skill gaps, misalignment, and organizational friction 
• The key diagnostic questions leaders should ask before pushing timelines 
• The gap between executive expectations and operational reality 
• What it actually takes to build sustainable speed in development 

This session brings together a consultant and an operator to give MassMEDIC’s C-suite and R&D leaders a practical, candid look at what truly drives faster development. 

If you’re being asked to move faster, this is the conversation you need to hear first.
