iRhythm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:IRTC), a leading digital
healthcare solutions company focused on the advancement of cardiac
care, today announced that Dave Vort, the Company’s Chief
Commercial Officer, has resigned effective July 25, 2022. To
support continued growth and ongoing implementation of iRhythm’s
commercial strategy, Mr. Vort will continue to serve the Company as
a strategic advisor and actively engage with the Company’s
leadership team through March 31, 2023.
“We are grateful to Dave for his many
contributions over the past eight and a half years, leading iRhythm
from its early commercial days through periods of transformational
growth,” said Quentin Blackford, iRhythm’s President and CEO. “Dave
was instrumental in building our world-class commercial
organization and has played a key role in our ongoing success. We
thank Dave for all that he has done for iRhythm and look forward to
his continued contributions as a strategic advisor.”
The company also announced that Chad Patterson
will join iRhythm’s executive leadership team as its new Chief
Commercial Officer, managing the company’s commercial strategy,
operations and execution. Mr. Patterson most recently served as
Chief Marketing Officer at Dexcom, Inc., where he played a critical
role in strategic marketing initiatives to drive revenue growth
across multiple geographies.
“As iRhythm expands within its core U.S.
markets, into additional international geographies, and into
adjacent markets, we are excited to welcome Chad to our executive
team. Chad joins us at the perfect time to leverage his experience
in driving significant growth in global markets as we look to
execute against our renewed corporate strategy. With his track
record of execution and wealth of experience, his data-driven
approach to sales and marketing strategies and operations will
allow us to continue to evolve as a market leader in the space,”
continued Mr. Blackford.
Finally, iRhythm estimates preliminary unit
volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to be slightly
ahead of expectations. The company continues to expect revenue for
the full year 2022 in the range of $410 million to $420 million.
These estimates are preliminary and therefore subject to
change.
“While preliminary, we are pleased with our
second quarter volumes that demonstrated steady growth in our core
U.S. market at rates slightly ahead of expectations as well as
another quarter of record registrations. We look forward to
providing additional information during our second quarter 2022
earnings release in August,” concluded Mr. Blackford.
