Microline Surgical Appoints Sharad Joshi as CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n

BEVERLY, Mass.– Dr. Jean-Luc Boulnois, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Microline Surgical, Inc., announced on April 2nd that, on his recommendation, the Board has appointed Sharad H. Joshi as Microline\u00b4s new President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective April 1st, 2013.<\/p>\n

As part of this new leadership strategy, Microline\u00b4s Board has also appointed Dr. Boulnois as Executive Chairman of the company, a leading manufacturer of reposable instruments for minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Boulnois has served as Microline\u00b4s Chairman and CEO for the last eight years.<\/p>\n

Mr. Joshi has been a member of the Microline executive team since 2007, having most recently served as President and Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Prior to joining Microline, Joshi was Founder, President and CEO of Blue Torch Medical Technologies. Previously, he held positions with Boston Scientific and Alliant Medical Technologies.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Boulnois, the Microline Board has elected to bring in new leadership to reengineer the company\u00b4s operational functions and continue to better serve its partners, physician customers and their patients, while furthering its successful expansion into global markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last eight years have been extraordinary for Microline, with the company growing at an incredible 17 percent year-on-year average rate,\u201d said Dr. Boulnois. \u201cMr. Joshi has played an integral part in Microline\u2019s tremendous growth as we\u00b4ve successfully extended our reach into the surgical marketplace both organically and through the introduction of the MiFusion energy product line.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a time of tremendous promise and change in the healthcare industry as surgeons expand minimally invasive surgical techniques into new procedural areas in an effort to reduce complications and improve outcomes for their patients,\u201d said Joshi. \u201cMicroline is uniquely positioned for growth in the field of laparoscopy with our strong management team, global resources, aggressive business development strategy and exceptional products.\u201d<\/p>\n

In executing this new leadership strategy, Joshi, together with his recently expanded Senior Management team, will work closely with Microline\u00b4s Board of Directors. As Executive Chairman, Dr. Boulnois will concentrate on long term strategic objectives, while creating and developing partnerships that complement Microline\u00b4s core business and enhance shareholder value.<\/p>\n
