Bell became the top executive of the Blue Ash-based Cincinnati Eye Institute in 2005 and launched CEI Vision Partners (CVP), an initiative with Revelstoke Capital Partners of Denver, in 2018. CVP has almost 1,500 employees among its eight practice partners in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Virginia, while CEI has more than 80 doctors at 16 locations in Greater Cincinnati. CVP posted revenue of almost $280 million in 2020.
Carrel has led the Mason-based medical device company that provides solutions for Atrial Fibrillation (Afib) since 2012 and has focused on innovation, clinical science, and education to grow it from 200 employees to more than 650 worldwide. In June, the company acquired a 34,000 square-foot neighboring property, where it will eventually double its product assembly capability. AtriCure posted revenue of more than $205 million in 2020.
