UTICA — ConMed Corp. (NASDAQ: CNMD) on Jan. 2 announced it has appointed Todd Garner as its next executive VP and CFO, “effective immediately.”
ConMed in November announced that Luke Pomilio, who has served as the Utica–based surgical-device maker’s executive VP and CFO for the past three years, had announced his plan to retire. Pomilio, who has worked for the company for more than two decades, will remain with ConMed in the role of advisor to CFO and continue with the company through March 1, 2019 in order to “facilitate a smooth transition.”
Garner brings more than two decades of senior finance and investor-relations experience to ConMed, the firm said in a news release.
That experience includes 15 years at Murray Hill, New Jersey–based C. R. Bard, Inc. (Bard), where he most recently served as VP of investor relations.
Prior to that, he was VP, controller (division CFO) of Bard’s medical division, director of the company's corporate financial reporting, and controller for the company’s Reynosa operations in Mexico.
Before joining Bard, he served as controller and acting CFO at Pleasanton, California–based Echopass Corp., which Daly City, California–based Genesys later acquired. Garner, a certified public accountant, also previously worked as a value planning manager at Clearfield, Utah–based Futura Industries Corp.
ConMed is “very excited to welcome” Garner to its executive team, Curt Hartman, president and CEO of ConMed, said in the release.
“During his distinguished career, he has made significant contributions to building and transforming finance teams, implementing innovative reporting processes, as well as executing large-scale capital allocation and merger and acquisition strategies. Todd’s deep experience and senior leadership skills will be instrumental in continuing to advance our achievement of the company’s growth and profitability goals,” said Hartman.
