Magstim Group, Inc. Appoints Lothar Krinke as New CEO

MORRISVILLE, N.C., June 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Magstim Group, Inc., the pioneer in trans-cranial magnetic stimulation and intraoperative nerve monitoring, today announced that it has appointed Lothar Krinke, Ph.D., as Chief Executive Officer effective immediately. Dr. Krinke will serve on the Board of Directors of Magstim. He will be responsible for Magstim and Technomed.

Lothar led Medtronic's global Deep Brain Stimulation business as General Manager for six years during a rapid growth phase after heading up several functions in its Neuromodulation business. His experience is broad, including serving as Vice President of Business Development at Celera Genomics, as well as Vice President in AT Kearney's New York office and as Senior Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company. He completed his post-doctoral training at the California Institute of Technology and holds a Ph.D. from the University at Albany.

"I am thrilled to join Magstim. Patients suffering from depression urgently need treatment options and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive technology that can help many people around the world. There are many patients that do not know about this option, and we want to change that and give them hope. Magstim has pioneered the field of TMS and intraoperative monitoring for years and I am honored to bring the organization to the next level of excellence," said Krinke.

"Lothar will transform Magstim into a world class growth business," said Matt Mackowski, the Chairman of the Board.
