Mr. Preuss brings a strong finance and cross-functional background to the Siren executive team with over 17 years of professional experience in both the financial services and medical device industries. He will report directly to Ran Ma, the CEO and co-founder of Siren and will oversee all aspects of the finance, accounting, and business operations of the company. Siren’s first product is an FDA-registered temperature monitoring sock that connects wirelessly to a software application, allowing healthcare practitioners to detect early signs of inflammation in patients at risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers.
Mr. Preuss has developed a strong multi-disciplinary expertise in management, leading teams in Vice President roles in finance, business operations, marketing, strategy, and corporate development. He spent the past 12 years at Avinger, an innovative medical device company in the vascular intervention space.

Most recently, he held the Vice President of Marketing and Business Operations position, leading multiple successful product launches and several key strategic projects for the company.
