After more than a decade in medtech, working alongside surgeons, hospital teams, and device reps, Eric Plumb saw the same problem everywhere. Now, as the Founder and CEO of PROXDIS, he built the tech that could finally fix it. In this episode, Eric joins us to talk about why the OR still runs on chaos, what he learned managing over 180 hospital accounts at Medtronic, and how PROXDIS’s scheduling and coordination platform, UNITE, is helping hospitals and reps work like it’s 2025, not 2005.

About Eric Plumb Eric Plumb is the Founder and CEO of PROXDIS, a healthcare technology company focused on improving how hospitals work with the medical device industry. After more than a decade in MedTech, including roles in both clinical sales and operational strategy, Eric saw firsthand how broken the communication process is inside procedural care. That experience led him to build PROXDIS and its flagship platform, UNITE, to bring structure, accountability, and modern tools to a part of healthcare that has long been left behind. Before founding PROXDIS, Eric managed over 180 hospital relationships across the Southeast as a Customer Account Manager at Medtronic, where he worked directly with hospitals on clinical education, inventory compliance, pricing strategy, product distribution, and risk mitigation. His role sat at the intersection of hospitals and industry, providing a practical view into the challenges and disconnects between the two. Earlier in his career, Eric supported a range of procedural specialties as a medical device representative, including peripheral vascular, embolization, and coronary interventional procedures. He brings a grounded, real-world perspective to healthcare technology, shaped by years of collaboration with physicians, hospital operational teams, and medical device companies.
