ABOUT OUR CEO
Nicholas Rafkind
Nick Rafkind, Founder & CEO, is a proven executive who has generated significant revenue across a career spanning media (including 21st Century Fox) and multiple successful augmented reality startups. His expertise in growth led directly to the acquisition of several extended reality (XR) companies. He now directs that powerful drive to IRIS XR, a computer vision company tackling medical device sterilization.
The commitment is profoundly personal: it’s fueled by his brother’s 30-year struggle with chronic pain and opioid dependence after a failed, infection-ridden medical device procedure. To truly understand the operational reality, Nick shadowed, surveyed, and completed the SPD Technician Course. This firsthand experience confirmed a critical truth: medical device sterilization must be made more efficient to support the amazing SPD teams worldwide who work tirelessly. His mission is to deliver the tools they need to succeed.
