US Spine Appoints Dan Bernarde as Vice President of Sales and
Establishes Professional Education Department to be Led by Linda Golob
New executives will spearhead roll-out of Facet Fixation System™
BOCA RATON, Fla. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 18, 2007 --
US Spine (www.us-spine.com)
announced today that it has appointed Dan Bernarde as Vice
President of Sales, and Linda Golob as Vice President of
Professional Education.
Previously, Dan Bernarde served as Vice President of Corporate
Development at Alphatec Spine. Additionally, he has held sales
management positions at Interpore Cross International, Surgical
Dynamics, and Cross Medical Products. He holds a bachelor’s
degree from Marquette University (Milwaukee, Wis.).
Linda Golob was previously Director of Clinical Education for Applied
Spine Technologies. She also has held positions at Endius, Stryker
Biotech, and Sulzer Spine-Tech (Zimmer Spine). Ms. Golob holds an active
RN (registered nurse) license, and served as Operating Room Orthopedic
Specialty Manager for seven years at University of Minnesota Hospitals.
“We are delighted to have Dan Bernarde and
Linda Golob join US Spine,” said Joseph
Mussey, Chairman and CEO. “Dan has over 14
years of experience in growing and managing distribution networks in the
spine implant space. He joins us at a very significant time in our
corporate evolution, as we continue to build a strong sales group and
distribution chain ahead of the roll-out of our Facet Fixation System,
which we believe has the potential to change the way surgeons think
about spinal fixation. Toward that goal, the establishment of a
Professional Education Department is a very significant step forward for
US Spine. Linda Golob is certainly well-known among spine surgeons, and
her group will develop and implement a comprehensive training program to
support our roll-out of the Facet Fixation System.”
US Spine
announced last month that its novel Facet
Fixation System won the “2007 North
American Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Differentiation Innovation”.
This award is presented annually “to the
company that has best demonstrated the ability to develop and/or advance
products with more innovative capabilities than competing products ...
Such innovation is expected to significantly contribute to the industry
in terms of product performance and degree/rate of technical change,”
according to Frost & Sullivan (www.frost.com).
The FFS is the only ‘locking’
facet implant in the market.
US Spine is a privately held medical technology company that designs,
develops, manufactures and markets proprietary spine implants that
facilitate a less invasive approach to achieving tissue and motion
preservation—thus yielding improved surgical
outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times.
