<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\u201cI\u2019m very excited to be joining this talented team during this time of explosive growth,\u201d said Watson. \u201cThe increased interest we are seeing in virtual reality combined with behavioral health shows the need for new and innovative approaches to helping Injured Workers\u2019 deal with workplace trauma.

Chris is not only a highly skilled executive that has successfully managed large growth and market-leading organizations, he is personally committed to Harvard MedTech\u2019s core values – empathy, integrity, and innovation. Chris has an especially unique skill set and omniscient perspective in that he has successfully led market dominant companies in every segment of the Workers Compensation ecosystem. He brings vision, experience, and thought leadership to the company as we continue our upward trajectory. During our time working together, I have come to respect and admire Chris, both as an operating executive and as a person, but perhaps even more importantly, as a partner to me.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nIn his new role, Watson will manage Harvard MedTech\u2019s operations, sales, marketing, account management, enterprise technology, and clinical teams.\n<\/p>\n
