TORONTO & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
(TSX-V: PINK) (OTC: PYNKF) (FSE: 4PC) – Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (“Perimeter” or the “Company”) – a commercial-stage medical technology company – today reported leadership changes, including the appointment of Suzanne Foster as Chair of its Board of Directors, effective immediately.
Jeremy Sobotta, Perimeter’s Chief Executive Officer stated, “Suzanne is a global industry leader with more than 25 years of healthcare experience. Her leadership and industry expertise will be assets to all Perimeter stakeholders in this new capacity. She is one of the longest-serving directors on our Board, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with Suzanne in pursuit of our mission to transform cancer surgery.” Mr. Sobotta continued, “We are also grateful that Dr. Anthony Holler, Perimeter’s Chair from 2019 to 2022, will continue to provide strategic advice and serve as one of our directors moving forward.”
Ms. Suzanne Foster commented, “I am excited to take on the role of Chair and support the advancement of Perimeter’s innovative technology with the goal of improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. When I was going through breast cancer treatment, my surgeon used to say that she could cut out the cancer, but the real miracles will happen when she can cut out the fear. My hope is that surgeons who use Perimeter’s technology in the OR will reduce the likelihood of a second surgery – but, importantly, also reduce the fears and anxieties of their patients.”
Ms. Suzanne Foster is President of Beckman Coulter Life Sciences. She is a global leader with more than 25 years of experience in the healthcare industry. Previously, she held the positions of President of Cardinal Health’s Health-at-Home and VP General Manager Medtronic Advanced Energy.

Ms. Foster holds a B.A. in Communication from the University of New Hampshire, an M.Ed in Psychology from Notre Dame College, a J.D. from Suffolk University Law School, and a Master of Public Health in Law and Health Policy from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
In addition, the Company also announced that Chris Scott has resigned as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), effective January 13, 2022. A formal search has been initiated, and the Company announced that Russell Wagner will serve as Interim CFO until a new CFO is appointed.
Mr. Russell Wagner is a CPA and an accomplished executive with a track record of solid performance across all major finance, accounting, and treasury functions in a healthcare setting. From 2003 until his retirement in 2020, Mr. Wagner was Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer at Holy Redeemer Health System in Philadelphia, PA.
