Our expert on all things Masimo is down, but certainly not out. Last Monday (5 May) Ted Green, the founder of audio business website Strata-gee, while out power walking, was hit by something (spaceship, meteorite–your Editor will let him tell you), and wound up hospitalized for a few days with a variety of injuries. He’s now recuperating at home. Our very best wishes for his recovery from multiple bang-ups, bruises, and a nasty shoulder.
If you like audio, Ted’s website is a must-read for the business behind the brands. Even if you are old-school audio like me, you’ll find it fascinating and written from the perspective of a real Business Insider.
He digs deep. Right before his ‘airborne’ event, Ted’s last Masimo story for Strata-gee dated 1 May investigated what was going on with their website. I had casually mentioned to Ted that the Masimo website was down after picking up his analysis of former CEO Joseph Kiani’s claim to 13.2% share ownership. Ted is the one who investigated that Masimo’s website remained down with no explanations that made sense and it had spread internally. He was the first to bring to everyone’s attention on the healthcare side that Masimo Had A Problem, and it was bigger than a temporary outage. Commenters weighed in with updates. Masimo finally admitted in their SEC Form 8-K on 6 May that they had a cyber incident that affected most of their systems, including manufacturing and customer service. The story developed last week as you’ll see here—while Ted was in the hospital–as well as the Sound United sale.
If you’ve liked our coverage on Masimo–and the ‘hits’ indicate that you, our Readers, have–you can thank Ted.
Add your good wishes to comments under his story on his ‘event’. (BTW, the care he received at JFK Hospital in Edison, New Jersey was excellent.)
