Vicarious Surgical announced the departure of William Kelly, its chief financial officer (CFO). Kelly will leave the company to pursue other career opportunities after a four-year tenure.

Kelly has been Vicarious Surgical’s CFO since January 2021. He will assist the company in order to provide minimal disruption and successful transition of responsibilities prior to his January 2, 2025 departure.

The company has begun a CFO succession process and said it will offer updates as appropriate.

“On behalf of the company and Board, I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to Bill for his significant contribution over the last few years,” said Adam Sachs, co-founder and CEO of Vicarious Surgical. “Bill has been an incredible asset to Vicarious Surgical, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”

Kelly added, “My tenure at Vicarious Surgical has been a period of significant progress and accomplishment, both for the company and for me personally. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities I have been afforded and the collaborative spirit of the entire team. I depart with immense pride in our collective achievements and unwavering confidence in the company’s continued success under its strong leadership.”

Vicarious Surgical is a next-gen robotics company, developing a technology with the multiple goals of significantly increasing the efficiency of surgical procedures, improving patient outcomes, and reducing healthcare costs. The company’s novel surgical approach uses proprietary human-like surgical robots to virtually transport surgeons inside the patient to perform minimally invasive surgery.

In January, the company appointed Randy Clark, former global president of Health Solutions at Flex, as its new company president.
