James Schoemehl
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
James Schoemehl has over 25 years of experience in the aesthetic device space with extensive experience ranging from sales, sales management, and product launches to brand strategy, startups, and successful operation of a full-service medical spa. As CEO, James is deeply committed to providing inspired leadership to the executive team, building strategic partnerships and alliances, modeling a great company culture, and developing relationships based on trust and integrity at all stages of the customer experience.
James lives in St. Louis, MO with his five children and his wife, with whom he owns and operates a medical spa specializing in aesthetics procedures. He enjoys traveling the country visiting his extended family.
“As customers ourselves, nothing about buying a device ever seemed easy. Some companies seemed to have lost sight of the importance of building trust with your customers. We knew we wanted to simplify things and help practitioners feel more informed and educated about their decision. That’s why I know MDelite will be in this for the long-haul—we not only have top-performing technology, we operate at the highest levels of integrity and provide world-class customer service. That’s the difference.”
