Mr. John Putnam is a Senior Analyst at Dawson James Securities following the medical device industry. Prior to joining Dawson James in September of 2006, Mr. Putnam was a Senior Vice President at Stanford Group Company. He joined Stanford Group Company in May 2004 as a senior healthcare analyst after having been a principle and founder of Belmont Harbor Capital, a boutique investment research and merchant bank in Chicago, Illinois, established in early 2002. Mr. Putnam covers the Medical Devices and Technology industry as he has done for more than 30 years. During his tenure as a medical device analyst, he has served in a similar capacity at such firms as Smith Barney, Wellington Management, L.F. Rothschild, Alex Brown & Sons, Adams, Harkness & Hill, and Gruntal. As an analyst for the past three decades, Mr. Putnam has been responsible for the technology, fundamental, regulatory and reimbursement research of the medical device industry. He spent several years in Washington D.C., focusing on regulatory and reimbursement issues impacting the medical device industry. Mr. Putnam has extensive knowledge of many segments of the medical device and technology industry including cardiovascular, orthopedics, diagnostics, and urology. He was the first analysts on Wall Street to identify Women's Health as an investment opportunity. Mr. Putnam has a strong financial background and actually enjoys reading and analyzing financial statements and performing due diligence. Prior to changes in the institutional investment banking business which are now in place, he was intensely involved in investment banking assignments, having participated in more than 20 such transactions. In addition to strong writing and personal communications skills, Mr. Putnam has also developed a proprietary research methodology that evaluates the competitive position of companies participating in a particular industry segment by analyzing their intellectual property as embodied in a company's patent portfolio. This methodology can be used to perform strategic planning and business development. It identifies each company's relative competitive position within a technology and can identify those companies that are either active or have become inactive in research and development in that specific technology. From a business development perspective it can also identify a patent portfolio that may no longer be relevant to its holder but that may be an opportunity for another company. Mr. Putnam holds an MBA from The George Washington University and a BA from Baldwin-Wallace College. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst and a member of the Boston Security Analysts Society. Mr. Putnam has been involved in raising funds for several charitable organizations including Deborah's Place, a women's shelter in Chicago, the Farm Workers of Palm Beach County, and Old School Square and the Public Library in Delray Beach, Florida.
