NuVasive, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUVA) is pleased to announce significant leadership changes to its sales management team.
Since the end of the third quarter, Alex Lukianov, Chairman and CEO, has taken multiple steps to ensure the company regains its industry leading growth in the short term and for years to come. Matt Link assumes responsibility for U.S. Sales as Executive Vice President. Mr. Link will report directly to the CEO and will have responsibility over all domestic sales-related activities including training and operations. Mr. Link joined NuVasive in 2006 after his tenure with DePuy Orthopedics and then DePuy Spine in a regional sales leadership role. He has quickly elevated through the NuVasive sales organization as a result of his proven leadership ability and exceptional performance as Sales Director, Area Vice President and a Senior Vice President. His leadership, cultural focus, dynamic energy and steadfast commitment to drive top-line growth will continue to be instrumental in expanding sales revenue.
As previously announced, Russell Powers was promoted this quarter to Executive Vice President of International reporting to the CEO. Mr. Powers joined NuVasive in 2010 and has served exceptionally well in executive positions in Marketing and in Operations. He brings a wealth of experience to NuVasive which includes more than 20 years in orthopaedics and spine. Mr. Powers joined NuVasive after 13 years with Medtronic Spinal & Biologics where he held several executive leadership positions in Marketing, Sales and International. We are confident in Mr. Powers delivering significant growth in existing and emerging markets with a strong profitability contribution through his formidable drive to succeed and very extensive and successful history in International.
NuVasive also announced that as of December 7, the U.S. Sales Force has grown rapidly from 312 at the end of the third quarter to its present size of 329. The accelerated pace of sales force hiring with outstanding candidates and prospects both supports this quarter and prepares NuVasive for 2013.
