“Scott Phillips, chief executive of Starfish Medical in Victoria. TIMES COLONIST
Scott Phillips, chief executive of Victoria-based Starfish Medical, is hoping the latest accolade for the country’s largest medical-device design company may come with a competitive advantage in the fight for engineering talent. The latest sparkle comes from being named by talent management firm Waterstone Human Capital as one of the 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures (growth category) in the country for 2021.”
Duffy notes, “Starfish has been very busy in recent years.
In 2017, to attract more business from the medical technology hubs of the eastern U.S., it acquired Toronto medical-device designer Kangaroo Group. It set Starfish apart as a national medical-device developer and set the table for expansion.
When the pandemic hit, Starfish was part of an effort to manufacture 30,000 ventilators in Canada to meet an expected shortage of the life-saving medical equipment.”
