Melanie Morris

Head of People and Culture

One of the reasons I joined MIMOSA back in 2018 is because my dad is diabetic, and has had multiple diabetic foot ulcers, almost losing his foot on at least one occasion. I understood the potential of having real-time and remote monitoring for skin and wounds and I wanted to be a part of making that a reality for so many people like my Dad.

Over the years, our applications for use have expanded, and so has my passion for the work we do, the people we can help, and the teams I work with.  

Working to establish a culture of respect, openness, inclusivity and flexibility in a new organization isn’t an easy thing to do, but I’m proud of what we’ve done so far and where we plan to go. I’m looking forward to our company expanding even further as we move the needle to change the way healthcare is delivered - for the benefit of everyone.

Craig Johnson

Director, Business Planning and Strategic Alignment

When I was first introduced to MIMOSA back in 2018 I was immediately struck by the impact the technology could have on healthcare. After meeting with the team I was convinced that no team was better positioned to make a HUGE impact.


More recently I was presented with an opportunity to rejoin the company, a few years further along and ready for the final push to the market. MIMOSA has overcome challenge after challenge and we are finally seeing years of hard work payoff. 

We work hard, we laugh and, as a team, we are constantly looking to make people's lives better.

Douglas Queen

Marketing Advisor

My passion is wounds, and this is probably why I have spent over 35 years of my working career in this space. This started during my PhD studies where I had to choose a research project. One that piqued my interest was the development of preclinical, laboratory-based tools to evaluate burn dressings. My interest was stimulated by both the subject matter and the fact that the wife of a friend had recently passed because of major burn injuries. This started my wound care journey and has driven my passion to help make a difference for those suffering from wounds.

MIMOSA has a similar beginning and passion which attracted me to work with this organisation and team.
