"After an extensive search, Diality is excited to welcome Dan Guthrie to our executive leadership team," said Osman Khawar, M.D., CEO of Diality. "Dan's experience in growing multiple medical device businesses in evolving technological and reimbursement environments is impressive. Further, his experience in market development and capital equipment and recurring revenue business models are an excellent fit for our company."
Dan Guthrie brings over 20 years of senior leadership and commercialization experience to Diality.
