Osso VR revealed today that Greg Born will become the company’s new CEO.
The company began in 2016 and offers Osso Enterprise and Osso Academy, which provide healthcare companies and academic programs with virtual reality (VR) training modules and simulations. The platform allows users to share, practice, and learn new skills and procedures using hyper-realistic VR training, according to the company.
Currently, Osso VR has modules in orthopedics, urology, cardiology, pediatrics, and trauma. The company also works with a number of the top medical device makers worldwide.
Incoming CEO Born has two decades of experience in scaling technology enterprises. He has served in large and small companies, including Amazon, GE, and Oracle, focusing on healthcare technology.
He was also a former Air Force pilot, which offers him firsthand insight into how critical training and simulation are in tasks like flying and surgery.
"I'm honored to embark on this journey with Osso VR as the new chief executive officer," said Born. "Healthcare, particularly surgery, holds personal significance for me, with many family members in the field and my son aspiring to become an orthopedic surgeon. I have deep respect for the culture of innovation that the Osso team has fostered in such a short time, and I'm excited to collaborate with them to ensure the company's core values remain intact while expanding the reach of this life-changing technology to more healthcare professionals and patients than ever before."
Co-founder Justin Barad, MD has been Osso VR’s CEO for the last seven years and is moving into a chief strategy officer role, where he will lead innovation efforts.
"As I made the bold decision to transition away from full-time surgery—a career for which I dedicated 10 years—it was driven by a mission larger than myself: to enhance surgical and procedural care delivery globally,” said Dr. Barad. “Together with Greg's expertise and the dedication of our team, we're poised to translate Osso's bold vision into tangible, impactful strides, amplifying our reach and influence among healthcare professionals and patients. I am excited to work alongside this dynamic team as I remain more relentlessly optimistic than ever to shape what's next for us as healthcare enters a new era of spatial computing."
In January 2024, the company’s Osso Academy graduate medical education training offering added five new modules to its VR medical training library.
