Orthopedic surgical robot developer THINK Surgical has appointed Peter Verrillo as its new chief technology officer (CTO).
Verillo joins the company after a 10-year tenure at Enhatch, a tech startup he founded in 2012 that developed an ecosystem for patient-specific solutions using artificial intelligence and 3D printing for the orthopedic device industry.
Before that, he founded shoulder arthroplasty firm Axiom Orthopaedics, which was acquired by Nexa Orthopedics in 2006. Nexa was, in turn, acquired by Tornier in 2007. After Tornier, Verrillo began his own consulting company specializing in medtech incubation.
"We are delighted that Peter has joined THINK," Stuart Simpson, CEO told the press. "He has a reputation for understanding the needs of orthopedic customers and bringing solutions to market which advance the standard of care. His combined experience with implant development as well as image based personalized surgery solutions will be invaluable as we continue to build THINK's orthopedic robotic technology ecosystem."
"I am excited to assume this role at THINK," said Verrillo. "THINK has a celebrated history in surgical robotics unlike any other company and an incredible opportunity ahead. I am honored to be working alongside some of the best minds in the industry to deliver the future of robotic surgery."
