Orthopedic bracing and billing services firm Breg has appointed Kevin Hobert as its new president and CEO. He succeeds Brad Lee, who recently announced his retirement from Breg.
"We conducted a robust national search, and Hobert stood out based on his successful career in health care leadership, his deep industry knowledge and his commitment to customer experience," Stuart Simpson, chair of Breg's board of directors told the press. "He has demonstrated his ability to disrupt entrenched market leaders and grow market share through new medical technologies, and we have full confidence that he will accelerate Breg's growth and capture more leadership share in the DMEPOS space."
"We are grateful to Brad for his many contributions to growing Breg and building our unique culture during his 14 years with the company and wish him all the best as he pursues his next professional chapter," Simpson added.
Hobert’s career spans almost three decades at global medical device and healthcare IT companies. Before Breg he was CEO of Carestream Health. He also previously led Kodak’s Health Group and held multiple leadership positions at GE Medical Systems.
"It is a privilege to lead Breg through the next phase of our expansion," said Hobert. "Breg has an impressive track record of growth built on innovative products and services, a market-leading brand, the best customer experience in the industry, and, most importantly, a talented and passionate team."
