Brian Johnson grew up in the medical devices industry -- as a child, he and his older brother used the surgical staplers his father sold for U.S. Surgical Corp. as toy guns. One episode involving about $10,000 worth of surgical staples earned him an early lesson about medical technology and its impact on people’s lives. While pursuing his master’s degree in business and economics journalism from Boston University, Mr. Johnson covered the 2004 Democratic National Conven-tion in Boston for The Associated Press. He worked as a reporter for The Eagle-Tribune, covering business and economics , local government and crime in the Merrimack Valley.
Mr. Johnson conceived the idea for MassDevice.com in 2007 and launched the publication in March 2009 with Brad Perriello. As publisher, he has spearheaded the growth of the publication from 0 to 75,000
read-ers each month and led the company to profitability in 2011, just two years after launch.
Kathy Buto is Vice President for Global Health Policy, Government Affairs &
Policy at Johnson & Johnson. She has responsibility for providing policy analysis and developing positions on a wide range of U.S. and international issues,
includ-ing the Medicare drug benefit, government reimbursement, coverage of new
technologies, and regulatory requirements. In addition to reviewing how federal,
state, and international government policies affect Johnson & Johnson products
and customers, she is responsible for helping to identify areas of opportunity for J&J to take leadership in shaping health care policy.
Prior to joining J&J, Ms. Buto was a senior health adviser at the Congressional
Budget Office, helping to develop the cost models for the Medicare drug benefit. Before that, she spent
more than 18 years in senior positions at the Health Care Financing Administration, including Deputy Director, Center for Health Plans and Providers, and Associate Administrator for Policy. In these positions, she headed the policy, reimbursement, research, and coverage functions for the agency, as well as manag-ing Medicare’s fee-for-service and managed care operations.
