Nasco Healthcare Names Azevedo President

Effective immediately, Nasco Healthcare is pleased to announce the promotion of Hugo Azevedo to president. Azevedo will be responsible for driving growth and supporting transformational initiatives globally.

At Nasco Healthcare, our mission is to prepare frontline healthcare workers to be ready to deliver optimal patient outcomes, whenever and wherever they are called. We deliver hyper-realistic, reliable, affordable simulation solutions that enable our everyday heroes to be at their best, the moment they’re called upon.

Since 2016 Azevedo, as the company's senior vice president for innovation and corporate business development, has been instrumental in the design, development, and go-to-market strategy of three major products in the medical simulation marketplace.

Under his leadership, Nasco Healthcare launched ALEX PCS—the first full-body patient communicator simulator; Casualty Care Rescue Randy—a premium solution for TCCC/TECC training needs (powered by Strategic Operations Hyper-Realistic Technology); and TERi—the first androgynous trainer for comprehensive elderly care medical simulation. Most recently Azevedo was the backbone behind the global strategic partnership agreement with SKILLQUBE GmbH to bring the most realistic patient monitoring and medical device emulation solutions to the marketplace.

Azevedo is a transformational leader with exceptional leadership and management skills acquired from more than 20 years in the health care industry. He has transformed a geographically dispersed team into a functional, high-performing, world-class organization. Azevedo is known for his strong leadership, propelling innovation and growth, dedicated work ethic, keen business acumen, fantastic intellect, and strategic thinking.

As a biomedical engineer, Azevedo developed his core leadership competencies first as director of engineering (new product development) at Meti, then as vice president of technology and innovation at CAE Healthcare.

We are very excited to have Azevedo lead Nasco Healthcare in becoming the fastest growing medical simulation company.
