As Executive Vice President at DermSpectra, Linda Fanaras leads brand advisory and go-to-market strategy for the company's automated Total Body Digital Skin Imaging System, an FDA-registered medical device built for early skin cancer detection. The role formalizes what already existed in practice: Millennium Agency serving as DermSpectra's brand and demand engine.
