Arnold Charaschirakul, MBA
Chief Executive Officer
With a lifelong love for healthcare and athletics, I began my career by earning a degree in Athletic Training & Sports Medicine from California State University, Northridge. I spent nearly a decade on the sidelines—literally—supporting elite athletes in the NFL, NCAA Division I, and U.S. Olympic Committee, and working clinically as a Certified Athletic Trainer and Physician Extender in orthopaedic surgery. These experiences deepened my understanding of high-performance healthcare delivery and the value of multidisciplinary teamwork.
Craving a broader impact beyond the exam room, I earned my MBA from California University of Pennsylvania and transitioned into healthcare administration. I’ve since held leadership roles across diverse settings, including high-volume urgent care clinics, primary care, orthopaedics, and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) in San Francisco. I led both clinical and administrative operations for two ASCs, overseeing 50+ direct and indirect reports while playing a key role in service line development, multidisciplinary expansion, and implementing 23-hour stay capabilities. I also developed an in-house DME program and regularly reported to executive leadership and shareholders.
Alongside operational responsibilities, I served on multiple governing and regulatory boards—from quality improvement and infection control to accreditation and compliance—helping shape the way care is delivered, optimized, and sustained. I continue to grow professionally as a nominee for the Certified Medical Practice Executive (CMPE) credential through ACMPE.
Most recently, I’ve entered the exciting world of Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) and biomedical services. I’ve always been a hands-on person—the kid who took things apart just to figure out how they worked—so when the opportunity came to join CURE Biomedical, I was all in. Today, I get to blend my clinical expertise, operational leadership, and inner tinkerer to elevate HTM as a strategic partner in healthcare. I’m passionate about bridging biomedical teams, clinicians, and administrators to foster collaboration, improve outcomes, and help shape a future where HTM is seamlessly integrated into patient care delivery.
Fun fact: I’m also a hobbyist beekeeper! My backyard apiary is home to over 100,000 bees. I enjoy learning from their complex ecosystems—and occasionally sharing a jar of honey.

Project Manager
A born and raised New Yorker, my introduction to California was instantly elevated by joining the amazing team at CURE Biomedical. While my previous experiences focused on direct patient care as a certified EKG technician, phlebotomist and nursing assistant, I was intrigued by the idea that by focusing on a variety of medical equipment I could contribute to patient care from a different angle and on a larger scale. As a project manager, I learn and grow daily. This exciting field has allowed me to develop new ways of providing support to other departments and assisting in patient safety.
My primary focus is maintaining assistive patient equipment which mixes my previous experiences with biomedical industry approaches. I can see firsthand the impact well maintained, advanced technology can improve a patient's long-term outcome and daily life. As a former Junior Olympic competitor and Black belt in Taekwondo, I can say dedication to something you are truly passionate about can provide limitless personal and professional growth.

Biomedical Technician – Bed Maintenance
I am driven by a deep passion to grow my knowledge and understanding of biomedical equipment and the essential medical devices used in healthcare settings. What excites me most about biomedical work is the opportunity to directly support patient care by ensuring that life-saving equipment is functioning reliably and safely. I take pride in being part of a field where technology and healthcare intersect for the greater good.
With 2–3 years of hands-on experience in both electrical and mechanical systems, I bring a solid technical foundation that fuels my eagerness to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain equipment so it’s ready for immediate use on the floor. I am always looking to learn more and build on my skills to become the best technician I can be.
I am CPR-certified and continuously seek opportunities to expand my training and expertise.
Fun Fact: My drive to reach goals has led me to some amazing achievements outside of work as well. I’ve been honored with multiple national athletic recognitions, including:
- USA Stars and Stripes All-American (2017)
- Perfect Game All-American Award (2021)
- 2x USA Association team member
These accomplishments reflect my dedication, work ethic, and qualities I carry into everything I do, including my work in biomedical technology.

Field Service Technician
I’ve long been passionate about both medicine and technology. This interest began in high school, where I participated in a health careers preparatory academy, and was further shaped by early exposure to computers through my uncle, a longtime Intel employee. From building PCs to working on cars and electronics, I’ve always enjoyed hands-on, mechanical work.
Initially, I pursued a path toward physical therapy, becoming a certified massage therapist and gaining experience in various clinical settings, including the VA. There, I contributed to everything from general rehabilitation to wound care and innovative treatments unique to the VA system at the time. Transitioning into biomedical work has allowed me to combine my technical skills with my deep interest in biology and healthcare.
Outside of work, I enjoy barbecuing and karaoke. I’ve built a serious karaoke setup in my garage that’s hosted many great events.
