Rod K. Mayer will remain the president of Nextremity Solutions, working in tandem with Deeter. Mayer will have a heavy focus on product development, sales and marketing, as well as devoting himself to building and maintaining surgeon relationships.
“Having known Nick since our high school years of being teammates on the football field, I am positive that our combined skillsets and passion for excellence will bring strength and an overall commitment to executing on our strategy of becoming recognized as the leader for innovative product development in the minds of surgeons in the global foot and ankle market,” said Mayer. “I look forward to a very exciting and productive 2015 and to a successful journey as we continue to build our business together, one relationship at a time.”
