“This is an important appointment that adds a globally recognised leader to the helm of our spine segment at RTI,” said Camille Farhat, president and CEO, RTI. “Terry has a deep commitment to growth and innovation, as well as exceptional relationships with clinical thought leaders in our market. Our spine business is in the early stages of what we believe is a longer-term transformation with tremendous opportunities ahead. We believe Terry’s leadership will help accelerate the execution of our Novel Therapies commercial channel and multiple product launches planned for 2020.”

“RTI has built an under-estimated spine business,” said Rich. “We believe pursuing a growth strategy of investing in differentiated products and building scale is a formula for accelerating growth. RTI has developed and secured unique, data-supported products and is building a Novel Therapies commercial channel that should accelerate these products to standard of care. We believe we have an incredible opportunity to be the partner of choice for independent distributors and surgeons focused on growth and delivering the quality, safety and outcomes that spine patients expect and deserve.”
