Background

About Michael Quick

After nearly three decades in the medical device industry, I've taken on my next chapter as Chief Commercial Officer at Tactus AI, where we're building humanoid robots and intelligent orchestration software purpose-built for the regulated laboratory environment. Our mission: eliminate the manual bottlenecks that slow down even the world's most advanced labs, and in doing so, accelerate discovery and improve healthcare outcomes globally.Throughout my career, I've led the development and commercialization of market-shaping technologies across digital cytology, AI-enabled diagnostics, and regulated laboratory services. My work has spanned end-to-end product innovation, regulatory strategy, global launches, and scaling complex businesses — along with executive oversight of an oncology CLIA laboratory operation encompassing R&D, clinical affairs, lab operations, and patient and client services.With 30+ years in medical devices and diagnostics, I bring a blend of deep technical leadership and pragmatic business execution. I've partnered closely with clinicians, regulators, academic leaders, and industry innovators to translate science into clinically meaningful, scalable solutions that improve patient outcomes.As Past President of the Digital Pathology Association (DPA) and a Board-certified cytologist, I understand firsthand the challenges laboratory scientists face every day — which is exactly what drew me to Tactus and its scientist-first approach to building the future of lab automation.I'm always open to connecting with partners, customers, and collaborators operating at the intersection of AI, diagnostics, robotics, and healthcare delivery.
