Highridge Medical this week announced it appointed Rebecca Whitney as CEO, effective immediately.
Whitney will join the company’s board of directors as part of the appointment. Former CEO Glen Kashuba will transition to CEO of EBI.
Highridge Medical and EBI are portfolio companies of HIG Capital, which earlier this month acquired ZimVie’s spine and EBI Bone Healing businesses. Upon completing the acquisition, former ZimVie Global Spine President Whitney was slated to continue as president of the spine business at Highridge Medical.
“I am excited that Rebecca will now take the helm as CEO of Highridge. Her proven leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment to excellence are the driving forces that will propel Highridge into a promising future,” Highridge Executive Chair Eric Major said in a LinkedIn post. “I am confident that Rebecca will champion innovation and growth.”
Highridge Medical designs and commercializes devices to treat patients with spine disorders. Its portfolio includes devices such as the Mobi-C cervical disc, the Tether, Vital MIS screw system and more.
