Natus Medical (Middleton, Wisconsin) recently announced that a well-known executive in the Minneapolis-St. Paul medical device hub is the new CEO of its Natus Neuro business.
Chris Landon joined Natus last month after serving for four years as the president and GM of Image Guided Therapy Devices at Philips. Before Philips, Landon worked at Medtronic for 16 years. At the world’s largest medtech company, he held VP and GM roles in charge of degenerative spine treatment tech, biologics and diagnostics.
Landon is also vice chair of the board for the Medical Alley Association trade group in Minnesota.
The company said in a LinkedIn post: “With a proven track record of driving innovation and fostering patient-focused organizational culture, Chris’s leadership and expertise will propel our mission of advancing neurodiagnostics and improving patient outcomes around the globe to new heights.”
(Landon appeared on our DeviceTalks Weekly podcast in 2020.)
Natus Medical offers medical equipment, software, supplies and services for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of impairments and disorders effecting the brain, neural pathways, and eight sensory nervous systems. The existing company was founded in the late 1980s, but it has brands with histories going back more than 80 years.
The investment firm ArchiMed acquired Natus for $1.2 billion in 2022.
