Colleen Tully leads immersive technology strategy and deployment for Medtronic’s Surgical Innovations group, where she transforms how medical teams learn, train, and connect across the globe. Her work spans virtual reality (VR), AI-powered roleplay, and holographic communication—bringing cutting-edge tools into high-stakes environments where precision, speed, and confidence matter most.
With a background in both startups and enterprise, Colleen specializes in scaling emerging technologies inside complex organizations. She’s driven global adoption of VR for sales training, led multilingual AI simulations to improve field decision-making, and pioneered the use of holograms to connect executive leaders with new hires in real time.
She’s a relentless advocate for practical innovation—tools that not only impress, but actually move the needle on business outcomes and human learning. When she’s not piloting next-gen tech, Colleen can be found mentoring teams, decoding AI trends, or capturing the surreal in her abstract photography series.
