John has been
a key leader of SeaSpine dating back to the successful spin-out of the organization in 2015. I am confident his background and experience in the medical device industry coupled with his cultural influence will
benefit the newly combined company as we continue to grow, said Keith Valentine, President and CEO of SeaSpine. I believe John is well positioned to help lead us through the successful integration of the two companies, ensuring
accountability across all levels of the organization, as we focus on the key initiatives that will drive growth, scalability and shareholder value.
