KARL STORZ Endoscopy-America Inc. (KSEA) has welcomed a new member to its management team.
The company appointed Sonal Matai as managing director. A visionary medtech leader, Matai succeeds Charlie Wilhelm, who left KSEA after 30 years with the company.
“I am incredibly excited to be joining KSEA during this period of innovation and rapid market share growth,” said Matai. “I look forward to building on the solid foundation established by Charlie and his leadership team as we continue our focus on delivering meaningful value to providers and patients.”
