Strategic oversight is provided by a board of directors that includes Chairman Jeffrey Schwartz and independent directors such as Raymond W. Cohen, CEO of Axonics, and digital health expert Dr. Elizabeth Kwo, ensuring a leadership pedigree deeply rooted in cardiac rhythm management and commercial medical technology.
