Bioventus taps ex-Medtronic CEO Hawkins for chairman | Personnel Moves

January 15, 2016 By Brad Perriello

MassDevice.com Personnel MovesBioventus said it tapped former Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) and Immucor (NSDQ:BLUD) chief Bill Hawkins to be its new chairman, replacing Dan LeMaitre.

Hawkins, who’s slated to appear at the upcoming DeviceTalks event in Raleigh, N.C., had the corner office at Medtronic from 2007 until 2011, when he took the helm at Immucor, where is he lead director.

Direct Flow CEO LeMaitre elected to step down, Bioventus said.

“I want to thank Dan Lemaitre for his vision, energy, sage counsel and leadership of our board of managers since Bioventus became a standalone company in 2012. His contributions to our early successes were numerous,” CEO Tony Bihl said in prepared remarks. “As we move into 2016, we are excited to have Bill Hawkins join us to lead our board as chairman. As former CEO of one of the most successful global medical device companies, Bill brings very strong experience in orthobiologics, including BMP, and we look forward to working with him and our Board to continue to grow Bioventus in this space.”

Hawkins turned the corner office at Immucor over to ex-Biomet chief Jeff Binder in July 2015.
