VitalPath, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing in complex catheters and precision laser components, has promoted Max Weis to president, in addition to his current role as chief operating officer (COO).

Weis has held the COO role since 2023. He boasts over two decades of experience in a CDMO environment, with a record of continuous improvement and cross-functional leadership.

“Throughout his tenure at VitalPath, Max has demonstrated exceptional leadership expertly navigating change, driving towards solutions with persistence, while applying his versatility and depth across business functions,” said Bill Ellerkamp, CEO of VitalPath. “His contributions have been and continue to be a tremendous asset to the organization.”

“Max has already made many impactful contributions across VitalPath’s operations over the last two years, and we are excited to see the company’s continued growth under his expanded leadership as president and COO,” added Aliya Khaydarova, partner at Inverness Graham Investments. “We also look forward to leveraging Max’s depth of knowledge and expertise within the contract development and manufacturing space as he supports Inverness Graham more broadly in an Operating Partner capacity.”

Weis earned a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing from Augsburg University and his MBA from the University of St. Thomas. He’s also Six Sigma Black Belt certified.

“I’m honored to continue serving VitalPath in this expanded role,” said Weis. “Our success is built on the dedication and creativity of our team, and I’m proud of how they continually rise to meet our customers’ most complex challenges. Together, we will keep finding new ways to move quickly, collaborate closely, and deliver exceptional results.”

In June, the company named Aimee Moore as its permanent chief financial officer.
