Justin Daniel Rodriguez, senior territory manager at AGA Surgemed LLC, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Health Care Professionals for dedication, achievements, and leadership in medical devices.
Across the last six years, Mr. Rodriguez has quickly established himself as a professional on the rise in the world of medical devices. This path began in 2019 as a senior spine specialist for Globus Medical. In that position, Mr. Rodriguez supported the company’s mission of solving clinical needs related to musculoskeletal issues through the development of new technology. As a spine specialist, he was able to directly assist doctors and help the organization determine its strategy in creating new products and bringing them to market.
Building on this initial experience, Mr. Rodriguez has served as a senior territory manager at AGA Surgemed LLC since 2024. As a distributor for major surgical manufacturer Orthofix Medical Inc., Surgemed handles sales, support and territory management for Orthofix’s suite of surgical, spine and orthopedic medical devices. In the role of senior territory manager, Mr. Rodriguez plays an integral part in supporting surgical teams through every step of a procedure. He regularly consults directly with surgeons to make sure their technological needs are being met and oversees logistical coordination for specific operations, ensuring that all necessary equipment is delivered and ready for surgery.
As a key support partner in the surgical process, Mr. Rodriguez also assists in person on the day of surgeries, working alongside surgical technologists in pulling and organizing instruments. He has expertise with traditional tools, CT scans, X-ray imaging and robotic systems. Mr. Rodriguez makes himself available for the entirety of surgery, assisting the surgical team and making sure that all technology functions as intended. His efforts also contribute to a seamless experience for patients going through difficult procedures.
Mr. Rodriguez’s performance in the field was born of his academic journey. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the American University of Antigua College of Medicine in 2019. Mr. Rodriguez considers his graduation from medical school to be his most significant accomplishment, and one that has set him up for continued success in his professional endeavors. He also attributes his achievements to his strong communication skills, which originated in his background in team sports. The collaboration and positive team dynamics that Mr. Rodriguez fostered in sports have translated naturally to working in the medical field. He additionally emphasizes the value of continued education, even opting to take on training that may seem repetitive at first, because he embraces the mindset that there’s always something new to learn and absorb.
In considering his career path, Mr. Rodriguez notes that the medical device field is not widely understood or recognized as a vocation, with no formal degree or academic path. While that can make things challenging, he also recognizes the ability for people with varied backgrounds to get involved. Mr. Rodriguez offers advice to anyone interested in entering the medical device industry to be a quick learner with the ability to adapt quickly. He rarely encounters a predictable day and often has to adjust to urgent changes, showing up in an operating room with minimal notice.
Beyond his professional life, Mr. Rodriguez is a dedicated husband and a loving father to two children, with a third expected in 2025. While his job keeps him busy, he prioritizes spending as much time with his family as he possibly can. Looking to the future, Mr. Rodriguez aims to double his sales and team size at AGA Surgemed LLC in the coming years. He also hopes to become a distributor principal and partner, expanding his reach and ability to contribute to the business.
