MiMedx recently announced that it appointed Peter Carlson as chief financial officer, effective March 19.

Carlson previously served as the company’s executive VP of finance and joined MiMedx in December last year.

“I am extremely pleased to have Pete Carlson on board and appointed as our chief financial officer,” CEO Timothy Wright said in a news release. “We are putting the right people in place to position the company for the future. Pete’s range of expertise in financial oversight, demonstrated leadership capabilities and strategic intuition makes him an important voice for our employees, partners and shareholders, as well as a valuable asset to the company’s executive team.”
