Joseph C. Papa was appointed Chairman of the Board of Beyeonics Surgical, and as Board Member of Beyeonics Vision. 

Mr. Papa is former Chairman and CEO of Bausch Health Companies, as well as CEO and Chairman of a wide range of medical device and pharma companies, including Perrigo, Prometheus Biosciences, and SparingVision.

Beyeonics is a group of medical technology companies (Beyeonics Vision and Beyeonics Surgical) that develop and deliver digital surgical platforms to operating rooms across multiple therapeutic areas, including ophthalmology.

"We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Papa to our Board. His visionary leadership and immense professional experience resonate deeply with our mission and business objectives. With Joe's expertise, we will further elevate our impact on the health care landscape and advance innovations by making lasting impacts on surgeons and their patients," Ron Schnieder, Co-founder and CEO of Beyeonics group of companies, said in a company news release.

"Joining Ron and the experienced team at Beyeonics is an exciting opportunity," Mr. Papa said. "I look forward to our mutual journey, taking the company through its next growth phase and to continue advancing our technology to help physicians improve health care outcomes and efficiency. I have confidence in Beyeonics' value proposition, which holds the potential to significantly transform the fields of Ophthalmology and Neurosurgery."
