Veran Medical Technologies said it has brought in former Stryker (NYSE:SYK) CFO Curt Hartman to join its board of directors.
Hartman spent 22 years with Stryker, during which he served as the president of the instruments division for 9 years, preceding his 4 year reign as CFO. Hartman left the company in October 2012 after a stint as the company’s interim CEO after former chief Stephen MacMillan was ousted in February of the same year.
"Curt has extraordinary medical device leadership experience, as well as a strategic and entrepreneurial mindset that has consistently delivered market leading results," Veran president and CEO Jason Pesterfield said in prepared remarks."We are delighted that he is joining Veran’s Board of Directors. We are excited to attract the caliber of expertise that Curt Hartman brings to the table and view this as a strong indication of the potential for Veran’s success now and in the future."
Hartman also serves as member of the board for Devicor Medical Products.
