Endologix has appointed Graham Phillips as its new chief operating officer (COO), effective immediately.
Phillips joins the company following over 18 years spent with Medtronic, Covidien, and Tyco Healthcare, where he was most recently VP of manufacturing for the Americas East Region. There he oversaw a large global team across 25 manufacturing sites
Before his extensive career in medical devices, Phillips served in key manufacturing management positions at third-party European contract manufacturer Budelpack and Kraft Foods. He’s also a chartered engineer with the UK Institute of Mechanical Engineers and holds a Six Sigma Black Belt.
In his new role as COO, Phillips will oversee Endologix’s manufacturing, supply chain, R&D, and quality. He will report directly to Endologix president and CEO Matt Thompson.
"I am delighted to welcome Graham to Endologix,” Thompson told the press. “His proven leadership and extensive operational expertise will be invaluable as we continue to drive growth and innovation within our company."
“Joining Endologix represents a remarkable opportunity to leverage my extensive background in operational management to put patients first through innovation and enhancing our manufacturing and R&D processes,” added Phillips. “My commitment is to optimize our operational capabilities to support Endologix’s mission of delivering healthcare innovation to improve the lives of patients with vascular disease."
Last week, the company shared one-year results from the DETOUR2 trial of its DETOUR system for long segment, complex superficial femoral artery disease.
