Transcend Medical names new president and CEO

Prior to joining Transcend Medical, Mr Brian was vice president of sales and marketing of Xtent, a publicly traded company developing next-generation drug-eluting stent systems. Mr Brian holds a BS in marketing from St Joseph’s University.

Mr Zadno is the founder, president, and CEO of Visiogen, a company dedicated to developing an accommodating intra-ocular lens to treat cataract and presbyopia. Mr Zadno was previously at Three Arch Partners as entrepreneur in residence where he founded Visiogen.

The company also announced that its former president and CEO Mitchell Campbell departed the company to relocate for personal reasons.

Eugene Juan, Jr, the founder of ForSight Labs, the ophthalmology-focused incubator that spun out Transcend Medical, said: “Brian is a superb choice to lead the company. His device industry experience and track record of success make him uniquely qualified for the position and he is already making an impact on the business as the company continues its tremendous progress in developing a novel stent-based system to address the needs of patients with glaucoma.”
