Amar Kendale
Vice President, Marketing

Amar’s role at Arsenal is to bring into focus the needs of customers—patients, physicians, hospitals, and payers—in our development of interventional therapies for the treatment of complex, multi-factorial diseases.

Before joining Arsenal in 2007, Amar led the technical development of cardiovascular medical devices for the cardiac surgery marketplace at Boston Scientific (formerly Guidant) in Silicon Valley. His medical device experiences span early concept development through product development, market launch, and post-launch field support. For his innovations in medical device product design, Amar was honored as the BSC Cardiac Surgery 2006 Innovator of the Year.

Amar's interests in convergent technologies began during his tenure at Surface Logix, another Boston-area venture-backed start-up in the life sciences space. As a member of a broad-based group of chemists, engineers, and biologists, he developed tools to increase the efficiency and performance of the drug discovery process. His work at Surface Logix resulted in four issued patents.

Amar holds two degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
