SightLife has named Claire Bonilla as its new CEO.

Bonilla, who most recently served as the organization’s chief global officer, will also join its board.

“I look forward to enhancing and expanding SightLife’s outstanding service to the cornea community — from those who generously donate the gift of sight and their families, to patients, surgeons and the support system necessary for corneal transplantation,” Bonilla said in a press release.

An expert in global eye bank development, Bonilla developed strategies to grow the capacity of more than 30 eye banks worldwide by an average of 25%, according to the release.

“The board believes Claire has the talent, business savvy and interpersonal skills to lead SightLife into its next chapter, as proven by the 60% growth she has driven in expanding SightLife’s work to end corneal blindness in developing countries,” Melody Summers, SightLife board chair, said in the release. “SightLife and SightLife Surgical’s joint mission to end corneal blindness by 2040 will be best served by having separate CEOs to focus on their respective roles serving those in need.”

Monty Montoya, who served as SightLife’s CEO since 2003, will continue to serve as president and CEO of SightLife Surgical, according to the release.
