Stryker announces retirement of long-serving board member

Stryker has announced that its veteran board member Howard Cox will be stepping down from his role after 44 years of service.

He has notified the company that he will not be standing for re-election at the 2018 annual meeting of shareholders, due to be held on May 2nd 2018. In recognition of his contributions to the company, he will be named director emeritus following his retirement.

The long-serving board member has been affiliated with Stryker since before it was a publicly-traded company, and has helped the business attain its current position as a leading global medical technology firm.

He has held various leadership positions with Greylock and its affiliated venture capital partnerships since 1971, meaning he offers extensive industry experience in venture capital that have proven invaluable to Stryker's board since 1974.

Kevin Lobo, chairman and chief executive officer of Stryker, said: "We thank Howard for serving on our board for over four decades, and for being a champion of our growth ambitions and consistent success."
