Medical products company Convatec Group PLC on Thursday appointed Jonny Mason as Chief Executive Officer and Fiona Ryder as Chief Financial Officer, making their interim roles permanent with immediate effect.
Mason and Ryder had been serving in their respective roles on an interim basis since Aug. 4, after former CEO Karim Bitar took a medical leave of absence, the company said.
Mason joined Convatec as CFO in January 2022, while Ryder joined as Group Financial Controller that same month.
"Since joining the business in 2022 as CFO, Jonny has demonstrated exceptional leadership and is highly regarded for his contribution to Convatec's successful turnaround," said Dr. John McAdam, Chair of the Board of Directors.
The board is confident in Mason's ability to build on the transformation led by Bitar and enable the company to deliver its full potential, McAdam added.
"As we accelerate our growth and scale up the richest innovation pipeline in Convatec's history, we have significant potential ahead of us," Mason said in a statement.
The London-based company, which makes products for wound and ostomy care, reported revenues of over $2 billion in 2024.
