Boston Scientific names new global chief medical officer

Boston Scientific has announced the appointment of Professor Ian Meredith as its new executive vice-president and global chief medical officer, effective from January 2017.

Professor Meredith currently serves as professor of medicine and cardiology for Monash University and brings more than 25 years of experience as a clinical and interventional cardiologist to his new role.

Over the course of his career, he has performed more than 10,000 invasive cardiac and coronary procedures, published more than 300 manuscripts and has been chief or principal investigator on 30 major international multi-centre trials.

In his new position at Boston Scientific, Professor Meredith will lead clinical and medical affairs across the organisation, while providing global leadership of its clinical trial strategy.

He has been appointed as the successor to Dr Keith Dawkins, who has confirmed that he will be retiring from the company in January.

Mike Mahoney, chairman and chief executive officer at Boston Scientific, said: "His strong relationships within the global research and clinical community and his track record applying novel technologies to advance science and care for patients make him ideally suited to drive innovation and succeed Keith in this role."
