Cook Medical promotes head of urology division

Cook Medical has announced the promotion of Jean-Marc Creissel to the role of vice-president of its urology clinical division.

Having served as global leader of the unit since 2010, Mr Creissel will continue his global responsibility for sales and marketing, product development, financial performance and general management.

After joining the organisation in 1990, he has served in a variety of sales and product management roles at Cook Medical, accruing 24 years of experience working with urology devices.

The company credited Mr Creissel with driving steady growth within the urology business every year, while also overseeing the launch of a number of innovative products.

Pete Yonkman, president of Cook Medical, said: "His focused passion for being a stone management solution partner for physicians led to the first stone extraction cases done completely, start to finish, using just Cook products earlier this year."

The Cook group also announced the appointment of Connie Jackson as senior vice-president of human resources this week.
