Cordica Medical has appointed Ben Hutson as chief operating officer (COO), effective March 23. He will lead global manufacturing, supply chain, and engineering functions, with a focus on scaling operations, improving efficiency, and building a more resilient, agile global supply chain.

Hutson will play a key role in shaping the company’s operational strategy and long-term growth while working cross-functionally across R&D, quality, regulatory, and commercial teams to align execution with business priorities. Hutson will report directly to President/CEO Marshall White and serve on the company’s executive leadership team.

“Cordica has entered an important phase of growth as we continue to expand our capabilities and scale our operations to better serve our customers,” White said. “Ben is a proven operational leader who knows how to translate strategy into execution at scale while developing the operational discipline needed for our next phase of growth. His leadership will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen our platform and deliver for our customers.”

Hutson has more than three decades of experience leading global operations across the healthcare and medtech sectors. Most recently, he served as COO at Orchid Orthopedic Solutions. Before that, he held senior operational leadership roles at ZimVie, where he led global operations across more than 30 sites and drove significant performance improvements, including margin enhancements, inventory optimization, and cost savings through strategic sourcing and operational optimization.

He has built and led high-performing teams and implemented complex operational transformations across global, multi-site organizations, with previous leadership roles at Breg, MicroPort Orthopedics, Sterigenics International, Smith+Nephew, and C.R. Bard.

“I am excited to join Cordica Medical at such a pivotal time,” Hutson stated. “The company has built a strong foundation defined by quality, innovation, and customer partnership. I look forward to building on that foundation by scaling operations, strengthening capabilities, and supporting customers who are advancing care and improving patient outcomes.

With Hutson’s appointment, Cordica Medical continues to strengthen its leadership team and operational capabilities to support its next phase of growth.
