Peter Verrillo has been named as Chief Technology Officer at THINK Surgical, a technological pioneer creating orthopaedic surgical robots.

Mr. Verrillo, who created the technology startup company Enhatch in 2012, joins THINK after a fruitful ten-year tenure there. For the orthopaedic device sector, Enhatch created an ecosystem utilising artificial intelligence and 3D printing for patient-specific solutions.

Before joining Enhatch, Mr. Verrillo collaborated on the creation of industry-leading knee and shoulder replacement systems with a number of implant firms. He established Axiom Orthopaedics at this time, a market leader in the development of shoulder arthroplasty procedures. Nexa Orthopedics purchased Axiom in 2006, and Tornier purchased Nexa in 2007.

Peter founded his own consulting business after Tornier, concentrating in the development of medical technology with a focus on the incorporation of cloud and mobile technologies into medical devices. He eventually used this to create Enhatch.

"We are delighted that Peter has joined THINK," said Stuart Simpson, chief executive officer. "He has a reputation for understanding the needs of orthopedic customers and bringing solutions to market which advance the standard of care. His combined experience with implant development as well as image based personalized surgery solutions will be invaluable as we continue to build THINK's orthopedic robotic technology ecosystem."

"I am excited to assume this role at THINK," said Mr. Verrillo. "THINK has a celebrated history in surgical robotics unlike any other company and an incredible opportunity ahead. I am honored to be working alongside some of the best minds in the industry to deliver the future of robotic surgery."
