ConMed Corp. (NYSE: CNMD), a surgical-device maker originally based in the greater Utica region, recently announced that it had appointed LaVerne Council to succeed Martha Goldberg Aronson as the new independent chair of its board of directors, effective May 21.
Council brings extensive experience as a global operations and information technology executive that has been invaluable to ConMed in her previous service on the board, the company said.
“It’s a privilege to take on the role of Chair of the Board,” Council said in the announcement. “I look forward to continuing to work closely with the Board, Pat [Beyer, president and CEO], and the entire CONMED leadership team on executing the Company’s long-term strategy. We are all focused on empowering healthcare providers to deliver exceptional outcomes for patients, delivering favorable returns for our stockholders, creating an engaging environment for our employees, and driving the long-term success of the business.”
ConMed on July 7 announced that Aronson was stepping down, effective that day, from the company’s board to assume the role of president and CEO of Merit Medical, a company engaged in the development, manufacture, and distribution of proprietary medical devices.
ConMed is a medical technology company that provides devices and equipment for surgical procedures. The firm’s products are used by surgeons and other health-care professionals in a variety of specialties, including orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, thoracic surgery, and gastroenterology.
Based in Largo, Florida since 2021, ConMed still operates a facility on French Road in New Hartford, where it was formerly headquartered.
