Insulet (NSDQ:PODD) said yesterday that it tapped former Medtronic minimally invasive therapies CFO and finance VP Wayde McMillan as its new chief financial officer, replacing Michael Levitz.
The Acton, Mass.-based diabetes-focused medtech company said that McMillan will join the company in February and that Levitz will continue as an advisor for a period following the succession to ensure a smooth transition. McMillan will officially take the role of CFO on March 1.
Prior to joining Insulet, McMillan held executive roles in finance at Medtronic, having come to the company during its acquisition of Covidien in 2015. After the acquisition, McMillan helped reorganize the new acquisition into the Medtronic Group structure, the company said.
“We are excited to welcome a leader of Wayde’s caliber to Insulet as the company transitions to profitability, expands internationally, and enters its next phase of rapid growth. Wayde has significant expertise scaling large organizations and a thorough understanding of the strategies we are pursuing globally to accelerate growth and build on our strong foundation. We look forward to benefitting from Wayde’s experience as we continue to position the company for long-term success and solidify our leadership in the global management of diabetes. On behalf of the board of directors and the entire company, I want to thank Mike Levitz for his numerous contributions, as well as his support during this transition period. Over the last four years, Mike has helped develop and execute our strategic imperatives, strengthen our infrastructure and capabilities in support of future growth, and generate exceptional value for shareholders. We wish Mike all the best in his future endeavors,” prez & CEO Shacey Petrovic said in a prepared statement.
“I am honored to join the team at Insulet, a company with a strong mission dedicated to improving the lives of people impacted by diabetes. I look forward to working alongside the Insulet leadership team and contributing to the company’s initiatives to drive growth, profitability and value creation for shareholders,” McMillan said in a press release.

Elsey is slated to stay on until his planned retirement date of February 28, or a later date if another agreement is made.
Prior to joining Senseonics, Isaacson acted as CFO of Edelman Financial Services from November 2017 to December 2018, and as managing director of private equity firm American Capital, the company said.

“I couldn’t be more excited about working with Lee. His intimate knowledge of Livongo, his close working relationships with the leadership team, and his connections across the industry, including virtually every analyst in the healthcare and technology space, will allow us to rapidly accelerate our business and better serve our members and clients,” CEO Zane Burke said in a press release.
“Lee’s experience in scaling companies is a perfect fit for Livongo as the company moves to the next level. I speak for the entire team in sharing my enthusiasm in gaining Lee’s experience in building great companies for Livongo,” exec chair Glen Tullman said in prepared remarks.
“I have been impressed with what the Livongo team has accomplished in such a short time. As the company continues its rapid acceleration, my hope is to contribute in both financial and strategic ways to serve Livongo’s mission of empowering more people with chronic conditions to live better and healthier lives,” Shapiro said in a prepared statement.

In conjunction with his promotion, current int’l prez Peter Cooke will assume the role of president of emerging markets, Australia and Japan and current upper extremities marketing VP Steve Wallace was promoted to int’l prez, the company said.
In his new role, Amsterdam-based Wright Medical said that Berry will be responsible for global finance and accounting, operations, quality, regulatory, information technology, strategy and corporate development.
“Wright Medical is quickly becoming a $1 billion high-growth medtech company that is built to win in the fast-growing Extremities and Biologics markets. As we continue to grow and progress, there is a need to better align our team to support long-term revenue growth, profitability and day-to-day execution. At the same time, we must stay strategically focused to maintain our technology differentiation and leadership positions. It is with these goals in mind that I am creating two new executive vice president positions, reporting to me, to advance our global commercial focus and to further transform our global business processes. With significant opportunities ahead, these organizational changes will allow for further alignment of our cross functional organizations with a stronger and sharper focus on long-term growth and profitability, including a greater emphasis on the emerging market opportunity. I am looking forward to working with Kevin and Lance in their new leadership roles and am confident that these appointments, along with our other organizational changes, will further bolster our ability to capitalize on the growth opportunities in front of us and accelerate our market performance,” prez & CEO Robert Palmisano said in a prepared statement.
