Second Sight Medical Products Inc. has found a temporary replacement for its outgoing acting CEO, Matthew Pfeffer.
Pfeffer's replacement is Scott Dunbar who joined the company in July 2001. Pfeffer will remain on the Board of Directors as an independent director.
“I want to thank Matt for his leadership during this past year,” said Gregg Williams, board chairman. “Our focus remains on advancing the Orion program toward providing useful vision to the blind, and I look forward to working with Scott as we pursue that goal.”
Dunbar, 64, has served Second Sight for 19 years as patent counsel, senior patent counsel, and senior patent counsel and compliance officer. Prior to Second Sight, in 2000, he was Of Counsel at Katten Muchin and Zavis (now Katten Muchin and Rosenman), during 1999 he was Of Counsel at Fitch Even Tabin and Flannery, from 1997 to 1999 he was patent counsel at Packard Bell, and from 1987 to 1997 was patent counsel at Zenith Data Systems.
Dunbar earned a Juris Doctor from the John Marshall Law School, a master's of science degree in computer science from Illinois Institute of Technology, and a bachelor of arts degree in music from DePauw University.
Second Sight is a developer and marketer of implantable visual prosthetics that are intended to create an artificial form of useful vision for blind individuals.
