Uscom – Distribution and Sales Manager Appointment
SYDNEY, Australia, 17th December 2014: Uscom Limited (ASX code: UCM) (the Company or Uscom ), a revenue stage, cardiovascular medical devices company, today announced to the market it had appointed Ms Denise Pater to the position of Distribution and Sales Manager.
Ms Pater has nearly 20years experience in medical device distribution, sales, marketing, business development and management, having previously been employed by GE Healthcare, Datex-Omeda, Medtel and Ramsay Healthcare. Ms Pater came to medical device management with a critical care clinical nursing background.
Ms Pater’s role will be to co-ordinate and target current resources within the company to support and motivate the growing worldwide Uscom distribution network, and to develop specific new business initiatives. Denise will be responsible for management of the distribution and sales efforts for both the USCOM 1A and the Uscom BP+ technologies globally.
Ms Pater said “Uscom has a growing global reputation as an outstanding and innovative medical technology company with great cardiovascular products, and joining the Company now, as it enters a rapid growth phase, is very exciting. I intend to improve the effectiveness of our growing distribution channels so we can optimise the sales opportunities and enlist new and larger distributors. I’m anticipating healthy revenue growth off the back of improved current distribution, and new appointments and marketing activities. I’m particularly optimistic about the potential for the newly developed Uscom BP+ central blood pressure monitor in hypertension trials with global pharmaceutical companies. Uscom BP+ is a real solution for them as they seek to improve their research methods and reduce the cost of their trials.”
Executive Chairman of Uscom, Dr Rob Phillips said “ Denise is an experienced and respected member in the medical technology world and her contribution to Uscom management will be vital as we accelerate into our growth phase. Denise is an important next step in our expansion, and her skills in distributor management, marketing and sales compliment our already strong team. Her objective is to focus and co-ordinate Uscom resources to drive our global distribution partners and achieve significant sales and revenue growth.”
Uscom manufactures and markets the USCOM 1A and the Uscom BP+, both premium cardiovascular devices changing the way cardiovascular diseases are diagnosed and treated. The devices have specific application in hypertension, heart failure and sepsis, and improve the use of fluid, inotropes and vasoactive therapies.
