Dr. Bill Lombardi Season 1 Episode 59

Join us as we sit down with Mike Minogue, whose story is as impactful as it is instructional.   He is the President and CEO of Minogue Consulting, LLC.  He served as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Abiomed, Inc., for 18 years until its acquisition in December 2022 by Johnson & Johnson.  

From his early days as a "punk kid" to the boardrooms of medical technology innovation, Mike's journey epitomizes the essence of transformative leadership.   Mike generously shares the leadership philosophies that have been fundamental to his success, especially during his remarkable 19-year tenure at Abiomed, all while maintaining a steadfast commitment to family, coaching, and philanthropy.

Through our conversation, we uncover the alchemy of melding military discipline with the strategic prowess honed at GE, leading to Abiomed's groundbreaking 'heartbeat' strategy.  Mike opens up about embracing faith as a lodestar for resilience, especially when confronting challenges and criticism. His approach is both unconventional and enlightening, advocating for empathy and even prayer for adversaries, thereby crafting a masterclass in leadership shaped by grace and understanding.

Mike's reflections on his dedication to nurturing the next generation, his nonprofit endeavors, and the promise of a future filled with new possibilities remind us that the journey of personal and professional growth never truly ends.
