Ms Sainz succeeds Gary Curtis, who served as the CEO of the company since July 2002 and who recently decided to step down.
Most recently Ms Sainz was president of the Cardiac Surgery division of Guidant and led the transition and integration of the Cardiac Surgery division into Boston Scientific following the merger of the two companies. Prior to that, Ms Sainz served as vice president, Global Marketing of the Vascular Intervention division of Guidant, which followed her assumption of increasingly broad leadership roles for Guidant in both the US and in Europe. Ms Sainz also serves on the board of two healthcare technology companies.
Robert Thomas, chairman of the company’s board of directors, said: “We are excited to have an executive of Maria’s caliber and experience as the new CEO of Concentric. She has the leadership and experience necessary to accelerate company’s rate of growth and to take the company to a new level of success.”
