28 Febbraio 2024 - 12:00PM
Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (“Integra” or “the
Company”) (NASDAQ: IART), a leading global medical technology
company, today announced that Jan De Witte has informed the Board
of Directors (the “Board”) of his intention to retire from his
position as president and chief executive officer of Integra
following the appointment of a successor, which the Company expects
to occur by the end of 2024. The Company also announced that Stuart
Essig, Integra’s chairman, has been appointed to the role of
executive chairman, effective immediately.
“We are grateful to Jan for his leadership and commitment to
Integra and the role he has played in advancing our portfolio and
building upon our legacy of innovation,” said Stuart Essig,
chairman of the Board. “Jan’s personal decision to retire from
Integra and return to Europe follows a leadership tenure marked by
significant contributions to the company, including the evolution
of our strategy and an expansion of core capabilities. We
appreciate Jan’s commitment to a smooth transition and the
execution of our roadmap for 2024 and beyond.”
The Board has initiated a formal search for a new president and
chief executive officer and engaged Heidrick & Struggles to
support the Board in identifying a highly-qualified candidate with
a track record of industry leading profitability and growth and the
development of inspired, high-performing teams.
Mr. De Witte said, “I am incredibly proud of everything we have
accomplished together here at Integra. I am grateful to both the
Board for their confidence and trust and the talented workforce at
Integra for their ongoing passion and dedication to excellence as
we endeavor to restore patients’ lives and set new standards of
care. I believe strongly in Integra’s potential for future growth
and success. In the meantime, we are squarely focused on delivering
our objectives for 2024 through operational execution, particularly
in our manufacturing and supply chain.”
As executive chairman, Mr. Essig will concentrate on driving
improved shareholder value and ensuring an effective transition.
“Integra’s Board remains committed to our strategy of commercial
acceleration through improved product development and digital
innovation, strategic acquisitions, and international market
growth,” said Mr. Essig. Mr. Essig has been Integra’s non-executive
chairman since 2012 and served as the Company’s chief executive
officer from 1997 to 2012.
Mr. De Witte will address the leadership transition during
Integra’s fourth quarter and full-year 2023 financial results
conference call, which is scheduled for later today at 8:30 a.m.
ET. A live webcast will be available on the Investors section of
