Intuitive Promotes Trio of Executives to Boost Leadership

Intuitive has made three new executive leadership promotions, elevating Henry Charlton, Gary Loeb, and Jamie Samath to support the company’s continued growth.

Henry Charlton was promoted to executive VP and chief commercial and marketing officer. Charlton is a 21-year veteran and has served in leadership roles within the U.S., European, APAC, and global distribution and commercial organizations, regional marketing, global customer services and commercial enablement functions. He was promoted to chief commercial officer in 2022, assuming further responsibility in 2023 as chief marketing officer.

Gary Loeb was promoted to executive VP and chief legal and compliance officer. Loeb joined the company in 2022 as senior VP and general counsel. Before Intuitive, he held general counsel, head of business development, and senior operational roles at private life sciences companies.

Jamie Samath was promoted to executive VP, chief financial officer, and enterprise technology leader. Samath joined the company in 2013, assuming the CFO role in 2022. Samath became enterprise technology leader in 2024, which includes oversight of information technology, real estate and workplace services, and purchasing.

“Henry, Jamie, and Gary are outstanding leaders who represent Intuitive’s core values and are deeply committed to our mission of advancing minimally invasive care,” said Intuitive CEO Gary Guthart. “These promotions continue to strengthen Intuitive’s leadership team and position the company to embrace new opportunities, tackle large-scale challenges, and bolster Intuitive’s strong, consistent leadership as we continue pursuit of our mission.”

In June 2024, Intuitive received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for a labeling revision for da Vinci X and Xi specific to radical prostatectomy.
