Recommendations
I am pleased to recommend Kristin Stahlman, with whom I had the pleasure of working for three years at GE HealthCare during her time as one of our regional sales leaders for handheld ultrasound. Kristin is an exceptional professional whose impact was consistently felt across both her team and the broader organization.
Kristin brings a unique combination of technical expertise and commercial leadership. Having started her career as an ultrasound technician, she has a deep understanding of both the equipment and the underlying anatomy, which enables her to communicate effectively with physicians and clinical teams. This background also gives her a significant advantage in the handheld ultrasound space - she speaks the language of her customers and understands their workflows at a granular level.
Her deep relationships with physicians in her territory were instrumental to the success of her region. She is both respected and trusted, not only by clinicians but also by the salespeople she leads and collaborates with, who consistently look to her as a knowledgeable, steady, and supportive partner.
Kristin is also someone who sees beyond the day-to-day. She has a strong grasp of how digital tools integrate with traditional ultrasound equipment, and she brings a forward-thinking perspective to strategic discussions. Her interest in process improvement often translated into thoughtful suggestions that improved efficiency and customer experience.
What sets Kristin apart most is her character. She is a caring person, always willing to go the extra mile to support her customers, colleagues, and the business. Her work ethic, reliability, and genuine concern for others make her a standout teammate and leader.

Exact Sciences Marketing Executive-
It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Kristin Stahlman, a dedicated professional whose commercial career spans more than 18 years, following her early service as a caregiver in imaging departments.
I first met Kristin when I joined GE Healthcare to manage commercial sales of a newly launched handheld ultrasound device. She was responsible for half of the country, and over the two years we worked together I came to deeply appreciate her passion for customers, her care for the patients they serve, and her unwavering commitment to the business she represents.
Kristin is self-driven, inquisitive, and consistently seeks better ways of doing things. She brought challenges to my attention thoughtfully, always accompanied by practical recommendations to address them. Her ambition is evident: despite a demanding business and travel schedule, she pursued professional development courses, joined women’s leadership circles within GE Healthcare, and completed additional academic work culminating in her Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership.
I am proud to have worked alongside Kristin and am confident she will excel in any endeavor she chooses. Beyond her professional achievements, I admire her personal talents and energy—whether crafting, gardening, or restoring furniture, she approaches everything with creativity and enthusiasm.
I am honored that Kristin asked me to write this letter on her behalf. Should the receiving party wish to discuss her qualifications further, I would be glad to elaborate. I can be reached at 954‑683‑6218 or armandochavezolace@gmail.com.

I am pleased to recommend Kristin Stahlman for a role commensurate with her background, experience and passion. Kristin is an accomplished healthcare technology and medical devices sales leader with extensive experience supporting capital equipment initiatives in large Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) while harnessing internal teams for customer success.
I had the opportunity to hire Kristin as we were building a new, dedicated commercial team focused on driving our offering at GE HealthCare of the fastest growing segment in medical imaging at the time. As a Handheld Ultrasound Segment Leader, Kristin led opportunities from early strategic alignment through clinical buy-in, contracting, implementation, and expansion. Her strong command of capital budgeting and system-wide standardization enabled her to position technology platforms as long-term investments to holistically improve patient care.
More importantly, Kristin helped define what the handheld ultrasound business segment has become. With her solid clinical foundation, her consultative approach to customers, and convincing teammates internally, along with her passion to raise everyone’s performance set a tone and helped us define the culture for what that team would become.
Having worked with her for three years at GE HealthCare, I can confidently endorse her ability to drive enterprise growth in complex healthcare environments. Kristin excels at coordinating capital sales with extended planning cycles and diverse stakeholders. Through her influential, trust-based leadership, she consistently engages C-suite executives, service line leaders, supply chain teams, and value analysis committees to align clinical, operational, and financial priorities into actionable strategies.
Kristin is recognized for her consultative approach and influential leadership, translating advanced healthcare technologies into clear business cases that address total cost of ownership, clinical impact, and operational functionality. She is also respected for her integrity, professionalism, and ability to coordinate teams to ensure disciplined execution and strong customer outcomes.
I recommend Kristin without reservation for roles in capital equipment sales, strategic accounts, or enterprise growth within large health systems and IDNs. She will be an asset to any organization seeking sustained, value-based partnerships.
All the best,
John Wright
