J.D. will play a critical role in managing several key areas of the organization: finance, strategic planning and budgeting, cash management and risk management.

J.D. brings Vesalio over 25 years of professional experience spanning investment management, investment banking, business valuation, and corporate finance and accounting, focusing over the last decade on healthcare and biotech.

McCulloch’s appointment coincides with the establishment of the company’s new headquarters in Plano, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas. As a growing hub for Fortune 500 companies, top private companies, and clusters of medical device companies, the Dallas area was chosen for its business-friendly environment, highly educated and skilled labor force, low cost of doing business, and world-class transportation infrastructure.

“Vesalio’s presence continues to grow globally with a current emphasis on U.S. infrastructure development. The addition of J.D. McCulloch as CFO and the relocation of our headquarters to Dallas support the scaling of our operational and commercial activities both in the U.S. and internationally,” said Steve Rybka, CEO of Vesalio.
