Orthofix appoints interim CFO

Orthofix International recently announced that it has appointed David E. Ziegler as interim chief financial officer. Ziegler will take over for Emily Buxton, who recently tendered her resignation from Orthofix.

“Emily has been a dedicated and tireless team member for more than 11 years. I want to thank her for the hard work and contributions she has made to the Company and we wish Emily success in her new endeavors,” Orthofix president and chief executive officer Brad Mason stated in a company press release. “Additionally, I am confident with David’s strong financial and accounting background and successful track record serving in several interim CFO positions, that he will be an excellent contributor in this role.”

With more than 40 years of experience, Ziegler has served as a full-time independent advisor to the audit committee of the board and assisted Orthofix and its finance department in multiple accounting matters as well as the reporting of 2013 financial results.

Orthofix and its board of directors are conducting a search to identify a permanent CFO.
