I am really looking forward to taking on the baton from an industry legend such as Mike Tuke and helping him and the team deliver his vision of enabling patients to have the best implants for their conditions across multiple markets. I am excited by the clinical and commercial potential of MatOrtho’s new implant technologies which can make a real difference to the active patient communities for which they were developed.”
