To achieve sales goals in today's increasingly competitive landscape, medical device manufacturers need experienced leadership with strong ties to the industry, and tenured salespeople with the networks, access and training to place products that provide value and improve care. At MedPro, our senior leadership, management team, and sales professionals combine to offer this at an unrivaled level.
The MedPro Team
MedPro was founded in 2006 by medical industry veteran Bill Sparks. As founder and CEO, Bill has continued to build and invest in a high-performance team of executives and sales reps, always valuing handshakes and relationships above all else.
Mr. Sparks began his career in medical sales working as a territory manager for Welch Allyn in the 80s, where he found success and eventually moved to California as the company’s Western Regional Manager. After his tenure with Welch Allyn, Bill broke out on his own as an independent sales rep in 1984, a move that would lead to the founding of his first company, MedTech.
With decades of success and positive impacts on the industry, Mr. Sparks was inducted into the Medical Distribution Hall of Fame in 2019.
Mr. Sparks attended St. Mary’s College in WI, where he was the goalie on the Men’s Hockey Team. He lives in Empire, CO with his wife, Ann, and all six of their children and fourteen grandchildren nearby in different parts of the state.
