“Sheri is an accomplished operations executive with a strong record of leading complex organizations and building high-performing teams,” said Martha G.

Mr. Peterson has consistently shown a deep commitment to supporting employees and their well-being.<\/p>\n

“Neil has been a dedicated and respected leader at Merit. His operational discipline, commitment to execution, and deep knowledge of our manufacturing and supply chain network have contributed meaningfully to the company\u2019s growth and performance,” added Aronson. “We are grateful for his many contributions and for the important role he has played in strengthening our global operations.”<\/p>\n
