Mickie Paben

I've spent my career at the intersection of clinical science and patient care — first as a Doctor of Audiology working with cochlear implant patients, then as a specialty medical device sales professional for over 12 years. What drives me isn't hitting a number. It's knowing that the work I do helps someone hear their child's voice for the first time, or regain independence they thought they'd lost. That belief has shaped everything about how I sell — consultatively, patiently, and with genuine investment in the outcomes of the physicians and patients I work with. Over my specialty sales career, I grew my territory from $3 million to $11 million and earned six President's Club honors. But what I'm most proud of is that the ENT surgeons, audiologists, and hospital administrators I worked with considered me a trusted clinical resource — not just a rep. My Au.D. gave me the credibility to have peer-level conversations about complex cases, and I used that access to build relationships rooted in honesty and expertise. I know what it takes to navigate complex hospital systems, manage the full buy-and-bill reimbursement cycle, prepare Value Analysis Packages for IDN approval, and coordinate across market access and patient services teams to remove barriers between patients and the therapies they need. I've done all of that, in a competitive market, for over a decade. I'm passionate about improving patients' lives — and I'm drawn to spaces where clinical knowledge, consultative selling, and long-term relationship building make a real difference for the people who need it most. If you'd like to connect, I'd welcome the conversation.
