Among his many healthcare industry partnership, merger and acquisition successes, Stocks played a pivotal role on the leadership team that developed and launched Cialis, and was a key architect of the Lilly ICOS joint venture partnership leading to their $2.3 billion merger in 2007.

"Cardiac Insight brings exclusive technology capabilities that will help save lives and empower health care providers with control over data and the patient experience, as well as increased efficiencies for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac care," said Stocks. "I am honored to serve with a group of healthcare executives who bring impressive track records in building new med-tech platforms."
