The Avive solution is elegant, thoughtful, and will empower everyday citizens to help others during their greatest time of need,” says Berkman. “Avive has taken the first major step in bringing automated defibrillation technology into the present. I’m excited about a future where cardiac arrest mortality is driven down, where victims are able to receive quick and efficient care, and where families are able to enjoy longer futures together.”

Most notably, prior to joining Avive, Meir was at RapidSOS, where he focused on strengthening their relationships with Public Safety agencies and worked to develop a comprehensive healthcare strategy. From there, he joined Butterfly Network (NYSE: BFLY) to lead healthcare partnerships.

“We are thrilled to add Meir to our leadership team,” says Sameer Jafri, CEO of Avive Solutions. “With his unique expertise at the intersection of Public Safety and healthcare from his time at RapidSOS and Butterfly, I’m confident that he will contribute greatly as we build out and scale our platform technology to address cardiac arrest emergencies. More importantly, I know he’s going to fit in perfectly to our mission-driven culture, as he practices what he preaches by continuing to volunteer as a paramedic in a very active New York-based EMS system.”
