Leadership

Nancy Hairston

CEO & President

Dallas, Texas, native Nancy Hairston serves as the president and CEO of MedCAD, a Dallas-based medical technology company built on an innovative approach to the design and production of patient-matched medical implants. Following her passion of creating art and sculpting, Nancy received her Bachelor of Arts degree in sculpture from Loyola University in New Orleans. She then joined Alias Research, a startup 3D special effects animation software corporation that ultimately became Maya.

In 2000, she was instrumental in the development of a 3D digital sculpting software company SensAble Technologies, focusing on product development through 3D printing. By 2002, she formed her first corporation, VanDuzen, Inc. Nancy founded the MedCAD brand in 2007, allowing her to use the artistic and
special effects animation skills acquired in her earlier career. By this time Nancy had mastered a process called digital sculpting, which she used to design toys for Mattel and Disney.

Noting the rapid advancement of 3D printing and medical technology, Nancy began to look to the medical space as a new market for her skills, and by 2009 the company had created its first surgical planning processes and models. In 2011 MedCAD was granted a 510K FDA clearance for its AccuShape cranial
implant. To date, the corporation has provided facial, mandibular, and cranial implants for more than 8,000 individuals, each a patient-specific, custom solution using enhanced radiography, digital design, and 3D printing.

Brian Buss is a seasoned medical device business executive with extensive expertise in business and product development, particularly within startup environments. As Executive Vice President of MedCAD, a division of Van Duzen Inc. based in Dallas, Texas, he has been responsible for spearheading business growth and product innovation. At MedCAD, he played a pivotal role in building out the operations and regulatory teams, and his leadership led to the development and approval of six new 510(k) product lines. Brian also established crucial distribution partnerships and oversaw the integration of advanced 3D-printed metal manufacturing technology, expanding MedCAD’s capabilities in customized craniomaxillofacial implants, surgical instrumentation systems, and laser treatment devices.

Prior to MedCAD, Brian co-founded Genesis Biosystems Inc., where he contributed to the development of eight innovative products for the aesthetic and plastic surgery markets. As Vice President of Engineering at Osteomed Corporation, he led a team of biomedical engineers and technicians, expanding the company’s product offerings and boosting sales to $25 million within six years. With a BSME/EE from Stanford University, Brian brings a robust technical and regulatory knowledge base to the medical device industry, with expertise spanning additive manufacturing and U.S. and international medical device regulations.
