SANUWAVE Health, Inc. announced the appointment of Mr. Morgan C. Frank as new Board Chairman effective, August 5, 2022. Mr. Frank has been a principal at the life sciences focused investment fund Manchester Management since 2003 and a director of Manchester Explorer Cayman Ltd. since 2013. Prior to that, he was a founder and managing director at First Principles Group, a boutique consultancy and principal investor specializing in corporate restructuring, restarts, intellectual property assessment and salvage, and spin-outs. Before that, Mr. Frank spent approximately five years as an analyst and portfolio manager at Hollis Capital, a San Francisco based hedge fund. He currently sits on the board of directors of Modular Medical (MODD) a development stage insulin delivery company. Mr. Frank holds BA's in Economics and in Political Science from Brown University.
Mr. Frank will succeed Mr. Kevin Richardson, who has served as Chairman since 2006. Mr. Richardson will remain CEO and continue to advise on key strategic initiatives as a Board Director along with Mr. Mike Stolarski, Mr. Jim Tyler, Mr. Ian Miller, and Mr. Jeffrey Blizard. While separating the role of CEO and Chairman is a necessary step in preparing the company to up-list on NASDAQ, this transition will also enrich SANUWAVE's strategic plan to continuously increase the leadership and experience available amongst their board of directors.
Sanuwave Health, Inc. is an ultrasound and shock wave technology company. The Company is a provider of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved wound care products. It is focused on the research, development, and commercialization of its patented, non-invasive and biological response-activating medical systems for the repair and regeneration of skin, musculoskeletal tissue, and vascular structures. The Company applies and researches its patented energy transfer technologies in wound healing, orthopedic/spine, aesthetic/cosmetic, and others. Its two primary systems are UltraMIST and PACE. The UltraMIST system provides, through a fluid mist, low-frequency, non-contact, and pain free ultrasound energy deep inside the wound bed that promotes healing from within. The PACE systems use acoustic pressure shockwaves generated by the Company's Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression (PACE) technology to converge at precise selected targets to produce an extremely short duration compression burst.
