LivaNova, a medical technology company, has appointed Jette Nygaard-Andersen to its Board of Directors following its Annual General Meeting on 10 June. Nygaard-Andersen currently chairs Coloplast A/S, a Danish medical device company, and previously served as CEO of Entain plc and in senior roles at Modern Times Group AB. The appointment coincides with Dr Sharon O'Kane stepping down after 10 years on the board. Brooke Story will succeed O'Kane as Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, whilst Peter Wilver assumes leadership of the Compensation and Human Capital Management Committee. LivaNova develops medical solutions for neurological and cardiac conditions, employs approximately 3,300 people, and operates in over 100 countries.

LivaNova reported 10% organic revenue growth in Q2 2025, driven by cardiopulmonary business momentum and solid neuromodulation performance across all regions. The company also delivered operating margin expansion and strong cash generation. The company announced key clinical milestones, including long-term results from the CORE-VNS study showing an 80% median seizure reduction at 36 months for focal onset seizures and 95% for focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures in drug-resistant epilepsy patients. LivaNova initiated the process with CMS to seek national Medicare coverage for VNS therapy in treatment-resistant depression patients, supported by five peer-reviewed publications from the RECOVER study. The company's obstructive sleep apnea programme remains in FDA review, with management expressing confidence in its proximal hypoglossal nerve stimulation technology.

LivaNova reported 13% organic revenue growth in Q3 2025, driven by strong performance in cardiopulmonary and epilepsy businesses. The cardiopulmonary segment generated $203 million in revenue, up 16% year-over-year, with heart-lung machine revenue growing over 20%. The company saw accelerated placements of its Essenz heart-lung machines, with most installations in developed markets. LivaNova launched Essenz in China, its second-largest market, in August, with positive early feedback. However, expansion remains constrained by third-party component supply despite progressing manufacturing capacity plans. LivaNova unveiled a refreshed brand identity and new strategic framework, which will be detailed at its investor day on 12 November. The company is focusing on near-term performance whilst investing in core businesses and developing programmes for obstructive sleep apnoea.
