Wayne, N.J.-based Konica Minolta Medical Imaging USA Inc., an arm of the famed camera company Konica Monilta, is replacing departing president and chief operating officer (COO) Henry Kobayashi with newly appointed executive David Widmann. Widmann joined Konica Minolta in January of this year as COO, and has been leading the successful expansion of Konica Minolta Medical Imaging since that time.
“I am thrilled for the opportunity to lead such a technologically innovative organization as we transform from being recognized as a conventional film and [computed radiography] company to a forward thinking enterprise aimed at providing valuable primary imaging solutions in today’s healthcare environment,” said Widmann. “Throughout this transition, we are committed to meeting our customer’s changing needs while outperforming expectations in the process.”
Widmann has more than 20 years’ experience in the medical device and services industry. Prior to joining Konica Minolta, he was general manager of global diagnostic X-ray at GE Healthcare, where he consistently delivered double-digit annual revenue growth, developed and launched over 20 new products, and solidified the company’s top market position.
“David has the experience and knowledge to successfully lead Konica Minolta Medical Imaging during a time of enormous change in healthcare,” said Kobayashi. “He has already demonstrated great leadership in driving our transformation and building a strong foundation for the future that positions our company, our partners and our customers for success and a promising future.”
Konica Minolta Medical Imaging’s offerings include the Regiu Model 210 for mammography, and various imaging data storage systems and solutions.
