Lobo to lead Stryker’s new neurotechnology and spine group

Stryker Corporation announced the appointment of Kevin Lobo as a group president to lead their newly formed neurotechnology and spine group, according to a company press release.

Lobo joins Stryker after nearly a decade at Johnson & Johnson, where he held a number of senior-level leadership roles, most recently as worldwide president of Ethicon Endo-Surgery.

The moves follow Stryker’s acquisition of Boston Scientific’s neurovascular division. The new group includes Stryker’s neurovascular and spine divisions, the press release noted.

“The creation of our new neurotechnology and spine group will enable us to bring stronger alignment to these exciting market segments, and better serve the evolving needs of our surgeon customers in these innovative areas,” Stephen P. MacMillan, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Stryker Corporation, stated in the release. “Kevin’s record of delivering business results, his strong customer focus and his global leadership abilities are ideally suited for ensuring we capitalize on the many opportunities the neurotechnology and spine markets present our organization.”
