In this episode, Matthias Oertzen is joined by Michael Ansorge of OCULUS Surgical, Inc., a global leader in ophthalmic diagnostic and surgical equipment. With a strong commitment to advancing eye care technology, OCULUS is at the forefront of vitreoretinal surgery innovations, helping medical professionals around the world improve patient outcomes.

Michael gives us a behind-the-scenes look at OCULUS Surgical’s new state-of-the-art facility in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and shares how the company is thriving by keeping production in-house—a bold move that allows them to stay agile, responsive, and deeply connected to their customers.

We explore how OCULUS empowers its sales teams as the eyes, ears, and mouth of the organization—gathering insights directly from the field and channeling them to engineers to drive meaningful innovation. At OCULUS, listening to clients isn’t just a value—it’s a strategy.

And of course, Michael brings a candid perspective on the cultural nuances of doing business in the U.S. as a German company— “Germans always think they know the U.S.”—offering both humor and wisdom on navigating international markets.
