Here’s to a future of continued expansion and growth!
I am honored to have led the EvoEndo team through major milestones over the past three years. EvoEndo has positioned itself as a leader in the TNE industry, achieved FDA 510(k) clearance for the EvoEndo Single-Use Endoscopy System, gained early traction in leading pediatric hospitals in the US, won prestigious awards, grown its patent portfolio, and hit key reimbursement milestones.
It is the perfect time to transition the company to the next level, and Jonathan and Ryan’s backgrounds in GI and endoscopy make them the ideal candidates to take the helm as EvoEndo’s next CEO.
