Bone Health Technologies (BHT), which named a new chief medical officer in May, has appointed two new board directors: Eric Meyer and Jeani Delagardelle.
Onboarding these two expert thought leaders will aid in progressing BHT’s development, research, and overall bandwidth.
“As BHT prepares to launch the Osteoboost solution for the market, we are thrilled to have the board support of industry veterans Eric Meyer and Jeani Delagardelle sharing their expertise from building some of the most iconic health technology products and companies and guiding those companies through their growth phases,” said CEO of Bone Health Technologies, Laura Yecies.
Prior to establishing his consulting practice, Meyer led Sonicare’s commercial efforts from launch to achieving the #1 dollar share power toothbrush brand in the U.S., and to Inc. Magazine’s #1 fastest-growing privately-held company.
Prior to Sonicare, Meyer served in senior marketing and sales positions at LifeScan where he launched the One Touch blood glucose monitor. During his tenure, LifeScan was successfully sold to Johnson & Johnson. He also served as Chief Commercial Officer for Soovu Labs, as well as CEO of Traffic Gauge. Meyer’s personal mission is to help keep people healthy at home to avoid expensive in-patient care.
“I’m thrilled to be joining Bone Health Technology’s Board of Directors. I look forward to helping the Company deliver novel, drug-free and non-invasive solutions for the millions of people at risk for osteoporosis,” said Eric Meyer.
“With no approved treatments for the 52 million patients with osteopenia, there is a unique opportunity to improve patient outcomes while building tremendous business value - I look forward to supporting the company as they work to achieve this mission,” said Delagardelle.
