OptiScan taps ex-Hansen Medical chief Vance for CEO
OptiScan Biomedical tapped former Myoscience and Hansen Medical chief Cary Vance to be its new CEO, replacing interim head William Mince.
“I am excited to join OptiScan at this pivotal point in the company’s growth. I believe that the cutting-edge OptiScanner diagnostic system provides a unique platform to transform the way patients are managed in the ICU,” Vance, who led Hansen to an $80 million acquisition by Auris Health back in July 2016, said in prepared remarks. “I look forward to leveraging my experience in building and growing successful commercial organizations, as well as the current team’s deep technical insight and expertise, to maximize utility and value for patients, nurses, physicians and hospitals.”
“On behalf of the board of directors, I am pleased to welcome Cary to OptiScan,” added Paul Mieyal. “Cary’s proven ability to lead an organization as it leverages disruptive medical technologies, transforms existing markets, and establishes new standards will drive OptiScan’s commercialization strategy and activities in the global hospital market. Separately, the board would like to thank William Mince for his important strategic guidance and operational leadership during his tenure at OptiScan.” Read more
