Intuitive Surgical shuffles the deck

Intuitive Surgical (NSDQ:ISRG) said today that it tapped chief scientific officer David Rosa to be its new chief commercial officer and product development senior vice president Salvatore Brogna to be executive vice president of product operations.

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Intuitive also said it named worldwide sales & marketing executive VP Jerome McNamara as senior advisor for commercial operations.

Rosa has been with the robot-assisted surgery device company since 1996, Intuitive said. Brogna’s tenure dates back to 1999, according to the company.

In April, Intuitive Surgical posted 1st-quarter results  that failed to meet the mark on both the top and bottom lines, reporting bottom-line growth of 119.0% to $97 million, or $2.57 per share, on sales growth of 14.5% to $532.1 million for the 3 months ended March 31, compared with the same period last year.

Adjusted to exclude 1-time items, profits were $134.6 million, or $3.57 per share, a full 30¢ below expectations on Wall Street.
