Promotion of Glenn Coleman to COO
Glenn Coleman most recently served as CFO and corporate vice president, responsible for Integra’s international business. In this role, Mr. Coleman oversaw accounting and financial reporting, budgeting, internal audit, tax, treasury, investor relations, and IT while also leading the company’s international business. Prior to joining Integra as CFO in 2014, Glenn spent 25 years in financial management positions of increasing responsibility with leading global businesses, including Curtiss-Wright and Alcatel-Lucent. Mr. Coleman began his career at PWC. He received a bachelor’s degree from Montclair State University.
In the COO role, Mr. Coleman will oversee the company’s operations and approximately 60% of Integra’s talent force, including commercial, clinical, R&D, manufacturing, quality, and business development teams. Creating this position will increase the consistency and discipline of Integra’s execution, further enabling the company to achieve its short- and long-term goals. The new leadership structure will be especially critical as Integra seeks to continue to build scale and expand globally.
“Over the past several years, Glenn has proven himself to be a strong and capable leader who has gained operational experience running our international business, which, under his oversight, has grown from 15% to 33% of Integra’s overall revenue,” said Arduini. “When we decided to expand our leadership team, Glenn’s deep knowledge of our business, financial, and operational experience made him the ideal candidate to assume this role. In addition to his excellent leadership skills, he brings proven P&L experience as well as a growth orientation, and has been instrumental in the successful integration of several key acquisitions, including Codman. I am excited to continue to work collaboratively with Glenn in this new capacity to drive Integra forward.”
Commenting on his appointment as COO, Mr. Coleman said, “I’m extremely proud of what the leadership team has been able to accomplish over the last several years and look forward to bringing greater focus to our operations in order to help drive profitable growth. I am honored to be appointed as chief operating officer during this exciting and pivotal time in our Company’s history.”
