Prior to joining SkinMedica, Mr. Loomis was CFO and Vice President of Operations at CardioDynamics International Corporation, a publicly traded international medical device company, for fourteen years. While at CardioDynamics International Corporation, Mr. Loomis developed key business systems and processes to support revenue growth to more than $45 million and led several public financings for the Company, including the strategic acquisition of Medis and Vermed, and then the eventual Company sale to SonoSite in August 2009.
