“Ms. Rodenbush and Mr. Price bring an impressive wealth of experience to Ceribell, and I am confident their leadership across our People & Culture and Marketing functions will help us strategically expand our growing team and commercial footprint as we focus on bringing our AI-powered point-of-care EEG neurodiagnostic system to even more hospitals, providing benefit to more patients and providers,” Ceribell Co-Founder/CEO Jane Chao, Ph.D., said. “The magnitude of the unmet need we are addressing is massive: up to one-third of ICU patients are at risk for nonconvulsive seizures. We are proud of our market penetration to date, but there is a significant opportunity for continued growth. Ms. Rodenbush and Mr. Price are important additions to our team, and will play key roles in driving our vital growth initiatives.”
