He holds a bachelor of arts degree in applied mathematics from Yale University and a master of arts in politics and economics from Oxford University.
Malachi Mixon, III, chairman and CEO of Invacare, said: “Mr Gudbranson’s extensive background in strategic planning and business development, as well as his previous financial experience with Invacare, will be instrumental in helping guide Invacare as we work toward our growth agenda for 2008 and beyond.”
