Mequon – Smart Choice MRI, the first provider in the country to offer every scan for an all-inclusive fee of $600 or less with a focus on high quality care and exceptional service, has named Michael Bartholomew as chief revenue officer, effective immediately. 

 

Bartholomew most recently served as vice president of global commercialization for Porzio Life Sciences (PorzioLS), a management consulting firm for the pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech industries specializing in improving productivity of sales and marketing programs and navigating the regulatory environment. He is also the co-founder and chief commercial officer of Promaxo, a portable MRI with real time biopsy and treatment tools for the urology market. 

 

“Michael is an outstanding leader with a solid track record of achievement in driving revenue, growth, market share and profitability,” said Rick Anderson, Smart Choice MRI CEO.  “His passion for our mission and his unique skillset in business development and product commercialization are an ideal fit as we continue to bring our clinics to more markets.”

 

Prior to PorzioLS, Bartholomew was a principal of a management consulting firm as well as vice president of sales and marketing for DDN Pharmaceutical Logistics, where he developed and launched several commercial initiatives. He also held sales and brand leadership positions for Pfizer, Pharmacia and Baxter.

 

Bartholomew proudly served as a decorated combat aviator for the U.S. Air Force, where he achieved the rank of Captain. He received his Master of Science in Administration from Central Michigan University and his B.A. in Economics from Indiana University.  

 

Smart Choice MRI currently runs 15 clinics in three states (Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin).

In early 2017, two additional clinics will open–in Vernon Hills, Illinois, and Eden Prairie, Minnesota–with continued expansion anticipated outside of the Midwest in 2017.
