Meet Blythe Karow
Product & Commercial Strategist. Health Tech Executive. Fractional Leader.
With over two decades of experience in MedTech, digital health, and SaMD; I help companies move faster with more clarity. My background spans startups, growth-stage ventures, and Fortune 500s — bringing a rare blend of strategic discipline and executional grit.
​
I’ve led commercialization across hardware, software, and hybrid platforms, restructured product lines, helped teams secure funding, and launched incubators. Whether I’m stepping in as a fractional exec or guiding a team through a critical inflection point, I bring the same mindset: get aligned, move fast, and make the right things happen.
​
I started the Karow Advisory Group to offer that kind of clarity and momentum to companies navigating complexity and aiming to scale smarter.
Value Proposition
1
Real Execution, Not Just Strategy
I help teams get clarity fast and then actually execute. From GTM to relaunch to regulatory submissions, I focus on what moves the needle.
2
Cross-Functional Leadership That Moves Things Forward
I step in fast, align the team, and get people moving in the same direction. From product to regulatory to commercial, I bridge disciplines and fill gaps - without adding internal friction or needing a six-week onboarding process.

Real-World HealthTech Experience
I’ve spent 20+ years in MedTech, digital health, and SaMD. I know what it takes to get a product from whiteboard to market, and how to make smart decisions across FDA strategy, MVP planning, go-to-market, and adoption.

Flexible Support That Fits Your Stage

She built a pro forma that actually reflected our commercialization path and ensured we were presenting ourselves strategically to both partners and funders. We secured funding and her work was a key part of making that happen. As a founder with limited internal resources, having someone who could plug in and deliver was a game-changer."
