NuVasive's new CEO restructures executive leadership
By Laura Dyrda
N
uVasive CEO J. Christopher
Barry selected a new executive
team to lead the company's
next growth phase.
Mr. Barry joined NuVasive as CEO on
Nov. 5, 2018, and spent the last two
months assessing the company. He re-
structured the organization to include
several executives that will report direct-
ly to him, including:
• Matt Link as president
• Raj Asarpota as executive vice presi-
dent and CFO
• Nate Sisitsky as general counsel and
corporate secretary
• Jim Garrett as chief compliance officer
and leader of Global Risk and Integrity
• Lucas Vitale as chief human resources
officer
• Suzanne Hatcher as leader of internal
and external affairs
• Dale Wolf as leader of manufacturing
efforts
Mr. Wolf will oversee all manufacturing,
including the West Carrollton, Ohio, fa-
cility, with Mr. Barry's oversight.
Mr. Barry eliminated the executive vice
president of people and culture as well
as executive vice president of global
process transformation positions. Pete
Leddy, PhD, and Stephen Rozow previ-
ously held those positions.
"I am confident this leadership team
and our new structure, along with dis-
ciplined execution, will better position
NuVasive to fulfill our commitments
to patients, surgeons, employees and
shareholders, and drive NuVasive's suc-
cess and sustainable growth," said Mr.
Barry. He hopes the new structure will
foster cross-functional collaboration and
increase accountability.
NuVasive generates $1 billion-plus in
revenue annually and has a 2,400-per-
son workforce that serves 40-plus coun-
tries. n
