Electromed Inc. has appointed Jim Cunniff as its new president and CEO. He's also joined the company’s Board of Directors.
“We are pleased to announce the appointment of Jim Cunniff as president and CEO,” Board Chairman Lee Jones said. “Jim is a proven executive with deep experience driving growth and profitability through excellence in products and services that benefit patients and support care teams. As Kathleen Skarvan, our current CEO retires, I want to thank her for exceptional leadership over 10 years at Electromed. The company is in a strong position as a result, and we are pleased that she has agreed to continue to serve as chair of the board.”
Cunniff brings more than 30 years of executive leadership in the medtech and broader healthcare industry with demonstrated success in general management, sales and marketing, finance, manufacturing, distribution, mergers, and acquisitions. Cunniff joined Electromed from his role as president, CEO, and board director of Provista, a Vizient company, where he consistently grew revenue, executed two acquisitions, and shaped the strategic plan for the company. Previously, Cunniff was president, CEO, and board director for Leiters; senior vice president of Americas for Kinetics Concepts; and president of Emerging Markets for Stryker Corporation.
“I am thrilled that Jim Cunniff will be my successor as president and CEO of Electromed and look forward to working with him as I transition to the chair role,” former CEO Skarvan stated. “I am proud of what the Electromed team has accomplished under my leadership over the past decade, and I am confident that Jim is the ideal candidate to lead Electromed into its next phase of growth.”
“I am delighted to be joining this company, and to collaborate closely with Kathleen, the board and the management team during the transition,” Cunniff said. “I look forward to continuing to deliver against strategic initiatives, grow commercial adoption and deliver strong shareholder results.”
