Anderson's appointment comes as ImpediMed's business gains momentum with its Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema (BCRL) business. The Board determined that the next phase of growth requires a step change in commercial execution, particularly in the United States.

Anderson brings to ImpediMed extensive commercial leadership experience in the US medical technology sector. Most recently, he served as President of the Breast and Skeletal Health Division at Hologic, Inc., a global leader across the breast cancer care continuum spanning detection, intervention, and surgery, with deep engagement across breast radiologists and surgeons in US health systems. During his tenure at Hologic, he led a large, multi-franchise commercial organization and grew one of the company's largest business units—a $1.6+ billion global franchise.

"I am thrilled to welcome Erik Anderson to ImpediMed in the role of CEO and Managing Director. Erik will focus on driving adoption of the SOZO platform across ImpediMed's growing portfolio of indications, deepening strategic partnerships, and leading the Company toward sustainable profitability. I am grateful for Parmjot's significant contribution to ImpediMed and wish her well in the future," said Christine Emmanuel-Donnelly, Board Chair, ImpediMed.

"I'm excited to step into the CEO role at ImpediMed. This is a company with an important role to play in cancer survivorship, with real opportunity to build from there. My focus is on delivering for patients and the clinicians who care for them every day, while building long-term value for shareholders," said Anderson.

Story Continues

Over the past two years, ImpediMed has undergone a significant transformation, establishing the operational and commercial foundations for sustainable growth. Under Bains' leadership, the company expanded its addressable market by launching two new clinical indications on the SOZO® platform: body composition monitoring for weight management and fluid status monitoring for heart health.

During this period, BCRL reimbursement coverage expanded to 93% of covered lives in the United States. The company is now well-positioned to capitalize on a substantial market opportunity.

Bains will continue in an advisory role through June 30, 2026, to support a smooth leadership transition.
