Dennert Ware served as the president and chief executive officer of Kinetic Concepts Inc., president and chief executive officer of Boehringer Mannheim Corporation and president and chief executive officer of Roche Diagnostics Corporation. Under his leadership at KCI, revenue grew from approximately $300 million to $1.4 billion, making it one of the medical technology industryʼs fastest growing companies. Several million patients with severe chronic and acute wounds have benefited over the past 15 years because of their treatment with the Wound V.A.C., which incorporated KCI’s innovative technology enabling physicians to improve patient outcomes by changing the way medicine was practiced.

Mr. Ware was named the 2005 Medical Device Chief Executive Officer of the Year by leading industry analyst firm Frost & Sullivan in recognition of his leadership, vision, and impact on KCIʼs growth and performance. In 2006, he was named the Ernst and Young Houston and Gulf Coast Area’s “Entrepreneur of the Year.”

He is currently a lead investor and on the Board of KYPHA, Inc., an early stage immune insights company delivering Precision Immune Monitoring (PIM) solutions to improve therapeutic development and clinical care for patients.
