Vaughan Seifert

Vaughan was born and raised on the East Coast in the middle of the last century, then on to college in Boston, earning a BS and MS in Manufacturing Engineering along with an MBA, all from Boston University. He worked nights at UPS loading tractor trailers to help finance his education. After college, Vaughan worked at Gillette, as an Industrial Engineer, followed by Parker Brothers and General Mills. Then on to C R Bard, a medical device manufacturer specializing in Angioplasty and Radio Frequency Catheters and devices for electrical mapping of the heart.

At C R Bard, he progressed from manufacturing to product design and development and finally to R&D and Management. Subsequently, he accepted a management position in Smith & Nephew in their surgical device group. While working in the Medical Device Industry, Vaughan earned a suite of patents for Catheters and Surgical Devices, with rights belonging to those corporations.

Taking an exciting opportunity as a co-founder of a startup was pivotal in his career. Dishes Direct, was an early Ecommerce website and fine china retail shop based in Kennebunkport Maine. The website comprised some 10,000 items from over 14 manufacturers, which had to be procured, photographed and databased for website sales. Along the way there was the build out and running of the retail store and the management of the New York based website programmers. Unfortunately; the timing and funding for the venture were caught in the dot-com crash, precipitating the dismantling of the business and website. Nonetheless, that experience was the fundamental springboard to his current endeavors at Efinitytech, which are unequivocally the best and most rewarding of his long career.
