EOS Imaging Appoints Board Chairman

Paris, France-based EOS Imaging has appointed Gérard Hascoët as its new board chairman.

Hascoët brings more than 30 years of entrepreneurial and international experience to support EOS imaging’s development strategy. He began his career within the medical technology branch of Thomson CGR. A serial entrepreneur, he founded in 1985 Technomed International, now within EDAP TMS, dedicated to non-invasive medical treatment in urology. In 1993, he founded Sometec, a hemodynamic monitoring company divested to Arrow International, and IMMI, a neurosurgical robotics company divested to ISS. From 2008 to 2011, Hascoët was CEO of SpineVision, a spinal implant company of which he still is board member. In 2009, he cofounded MD Start, a European incubator for medical technology companies, of which he is currently executive chairman. Hascoët is also Venture Partner of Sofinnova, one of the leading European healthcare venture firms.

Hascoët succeeds to Mike J. Dormer, chairman of the company’s board since 2012.

“Since 2012, EOS imaging has executed a remarkable growth strategy and I am delighted that an entrepreneur as talented as Gérard Hascoët will now be helping the Company continue this development,” Dormer said.

“We are very happy with our achievements over the last three years and extremely thankful to Mike’s support over that decisive period,” said CEO Marie Meynadier. “Gérard Hascoët’s strategic vision and entrepreneurial expertise in medical devices will be key assets to the company’s progress in establishing a leadership position in orthopedic solutions based on imaging.”

EOS makes systems that deliver 3-D orthopedic imaging.
