BD this week announced it appointed Rian Seger as president of BD Surgery, effective April 1.
Seger will be responsible for driving the global strategic, operational and commercial performance of BD Surgery and will report to EVP and President of Interventional Rick Byrd. He replaces Brooke Story who is stepping down to focus on personal matters.
Before becoming president of BD Surgery, Seger was VP and general manager of BD’s Medication Delivery Solutions business unit within the BD Medical segment.
“Rian has more than 20 years of executive experience with proven leadership capabilities that help address unmet needs in health care,” Byrd said in a news release. “Re-joining BD Surgery strongly aligns with Rian’s passion for driving better outcomes for surgeons and patients. With his wealth of experience and a proven track record of delivering results and developing teams, he will be well-suited to lead BD Surgery into its next phase of continued growth. We would like to thank Brooke for her leadership at both BD Integrated Diagnostic Solutions and BD Surgery, and we look forward to her return to BD when circumstances allow.”
Seger has been with BD for over 18 years and joined the company through the Bard acquisition. He has held various roles within BD Surgery before moving to his role in the Medication Delivery Solutions segment.
