Carestream adds new members to senior management team

Carestream Health has announced the appointment of two new members of its senior management team.

The provider of dental and medical imaging systems has named Barry Canipe as chief financial officer, a role he will assume on January 30th 2012 following a storied career in corporate finance positions spanning more than two decades.

Meanwhile Jianqing Bennett, the firm's former general manager for computed radiography and x-ray systems, took over the post of vice-president for global medical sales and services at the start of this month.

She will be responsible for field sales, sales operations and services teams, and will be tasked with leading the company's efforts to improve customer care and meet the needs of healthcare professionals.

Last month, the group announced a new data-sharing alliance between Carestream Dental and data solutions provider Lexicomp, in order to enhance its practice management software.

It will allow the company to provide access to Lexicomp's database of drug information and clinical content via SoftDent, PracticeWorks, Windent and WinOMS CS.
