RAUMEDIC appoints new CEO at its U.S. headquarters
Mills River, North Carolina – Brian Hutchison has become the new president and CEO of RAUMEDIC Inc. based in Mills River, USA. He took over the position on February 8, 2022, from Stefan Seuferling, who will continue to assume overall responsibility for RAUMEDIC's global business operations in his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors of RAUMEDIC Inc. and CEO of RAUMEDIC AG.
“We are really happy that we could attract an experienced and successful executive like Brian Hutchison to RAUMEDIC,” Stefan Seuferling said. “The U.S. market is filled with potential for RAUMEDIC. We really believe that we will be able to continue expanding our business activities there now that we have brought Brian Hutchison on board.”
Brian Hutchison is an experienced executive in the international medical technology market. The U.S. native has more than 30 years of experience in the areas of medical devices and biotechnology. He was the ideal candidate for the position, thanks in part to his vast understanding of medical technology and the pharmaceutical industry and the valuable management experience he has gained in high-ranking positions at Stryker Corporation, RTI Surgical and Catalyst OrthoScience.
As the new President and CEO of RAUMEDIC Inc., Brian Hutchison said he would “provide crucial momentum that would produce far-reaching strategies and long-term growth for RAUMEDIC together with our customers, partners and employees.” He said he planned to focus in particular on expanding the Business Units, an effort that will focus explicitly on the pharmaceutical market in addition to medical technology. “Pharma fluid handling, cell therapy and drug delivery are just three areas where I see tremendous growth potential,” Hutchison said.
