Executive Summary
AngioDynamics leadership transition: Eamonn Hobbs, president and CEO of interventional radiology and oncology device maker AngioDynamics, says he will relinquish his role to become vice chairman of the board of directors, once the company has identified a "world class candidate" to lead the company. Hobbs, who co-founded the company 20 years ago, suggests, in a Dec. 3 announcement, that his strengths are primarily "entrepreneurial" and the firm now needs a leader to focus more exclusively on operational and administrative activities. In addition to a CEO, the firm is searching for an executive to manage its oncology/surgery business unit. On Dec. 9, it appointed Michael Sharp, formerly of image-based orthopedics company ConforMIS, as VP of regulatory, quality and clinical affairs
