Medical technology developer and contract manufacturer Neo-Bionica, which announced an investment of $5 million from Breakthrough Victoria earlier this month, has announced two new board appointments.
In a statement on Monday, the company said it had added Stéphane Chatonsky and Dr Colin White as non-executive directors.
“Their extensive expertise in innovation in MedTech, strategy and capital raising will be invaluable to Neo-Bionica as we enter our next phase of growth both domestically and internationally,” CEO Dr Ludovic Labat said.
Chatonsky’s current roles include as non-executive director at Cerulea Clinical Trials; Genetic Signatures (ASX: GSS); Drop Bio Health; and Brainmates, and has previously worked in investment banking with Lazard Freres and Macquarie Bank, strategy consulting at McKinsey, and in venture capital and private equity funds.
White is a former Managing Director at healthcare and diagnostic developer Invetech and Senior Vice President at Leica Biosystems, responsible for the company’s global advanced diagnostics business.
Neo-Bionica was established in 2021 – as a joint venture of the Bionics Institute and the University of Melbourne – to serve an identified need for local prototyping and manufacture of bionic and neurotech medical devices.
