STENTiT Appoints Golo von Basum as Chief Operating Officer

STENTiT, a medical device company bringing a class of regenerative stents for sustained endovascular repair, has appointed Dr. Golo von Basum, Ph.D., as its chief operating officer (COO). He will be responsible for the strategic implementation to scale and standardize the product development and company operations.
 
Golo brings more than 16 years of experience in medical device development to STENTiT. After his doctorate degree in applied physics for laser spectroscopy and his career in corporate research for care and health applications, Golo was site leader and head of R&D of several departments within Philips, a global leader in health technology. Throughout his previous roles, he developed a clear and pragmatic approach for end-to-end product development processes. Golo published more than 30 patents and scientific papers, managed multimillion euro projects, led organizations of over 370 employees, and obtained several U.S. Food and Drug Administration and CE medical device approvals.
 
“We are excited to have Golo joining the team,” STENTiT CEO Bart Sanders said. “His background and wealth of experience perfectly fits the current strategic stage of the company aiming at further growth and maturity. This will certainly help us to define the next generation in regenerative stent technology and to become the new standard of care for patients in need of endovascular interventions.”
 
“In my entire career I am driven by purposeful innovation, and this is exactly what I found at STENTiT,” von Basum commented. “I’m proud and honored to become a member of STENTiT’s management team. The company’s technology addresses the unmet need of sustained vascular repair, with a novel concept of regenerative stents. Hereby the company aims to improve long-term outcomes by leaving behind a restored artery to last a lifetime. STENTiT is uniquely positioned to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients.”
 
STENTiT is a medical device spin-off company from the Dutch Eindhoven University of Technology, focusing on the development of regenerative endovascular implants. These bioresorbable devices trigger a natural healing response by the circulating blood cells, in which the implant is being replaced by new vascular tissue to restore the artery from the inside-out. Since the establishment of the company in 2017, STENTiT has received broad international recognition and awards for its high-potential approach, covering world leading stages.
