Smith & Nephew has appointed Roberto Quarta as non-executive director and chairman elect. He will join the company’s board of directors in December, succeeding Sir John Buchanan.

“He brings exceptional board experience gained in both the U.K. and internationally, which will be of great value as we implement our strategic priorities to take advantage of the differing opportunities in our established and emerging markets,” Olivier Bohuon, CEO of Smith & Nephew, stated in a company press release.

Quarta is currently chairman of IMI, a global engineering group, chairman of Rexel, a global leader in the distribution of electrical supplies, and chairman of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Europe, a private equity firm.

“It is an honor to be joining the board of Smith & Nephew. I look forward to working alongside Sir John during the coming months to ensure a seamless handover and to supporting Olivier and the team as they deliver their ambitious plans to reshape Smith & Nephew,” Quarta stated in the release.
