The former chief innovation officer of Washington, D.C.-based Children’s National Hospital has left to join a Swiss medtech company.
Kolaleh Eskandanian, PhD, was named chief strategy and innovation officer of Compremium AG and will lead the medical device company’s newly formed division of pediatrics and special populations. She most recently served as vice president and innovation chief of the children’s hospital, where she had worked since 2008.
“Dr. Eskandanian brings unmatched expertise in pediatric innovation, clinical translation and public-private partnerships,” Compremium AG CEO Vincent Baumann said in an April 23 news release. “Her leadership will accelerate our pipeline and elevate our mission to bring smarter, safer technologies to children and special populations around the world.”
