Flora is OmniGuide’s new chief executive
OmniGuide Inc., a Cambridge company that has developed a laser scalpel for minimally invasive surgery, said it has appointed Scott Flora to be its president and chief executive.
Flora, who will also serve on OmniGuide’s board of directors, most recently was president of the surgical devices unit at Covidien PLC, a maker of surgical products and drugs with operations in Mansfield.
Privately held OmniGuide makes medical devices from technology licensed from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The company’s BeamPath laser scalpel has been on the market for about four years. Since its founding 2000, the firm has raised about $78 million in venture capital financing.
For part of its history, the company has been led by cofounder Yoel Fink, an associate professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at MIT. He served as OmniGuide’s chief executive from 2007 to 2010, according to the company’s website. He was recently promoted to director of the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT, and he also serves as OmniGuide’s chairman.
Chief financial officer Brad Smith was OmniGuide’s interim chief executive for the last year. He now returns to his CFO role.
