Prior to joining Helius, Mr. Fantazzia worked for LivaNova, a global medical technology company that designs, develops, manufactures, and sells innovative therapeutic solutions, from 2016 until 2021.

At LivaNova, Mr. Fantazzia also served as VP of North American sales and marketing for that company’s commercialization of a technology for the treatment of epilepsy.
