Stryker has appointed Neurotechnology and Spine group president Kevin Lobo as Orthopaedics group president, effective 13 June 2011.

The role was formerly held by Mike Mogul, who announced his intention to join DJO Global as CEO.

Lobo will continue to report to chairman, president and CEO Stephen MacMillan.

Lobo joined Stryker in April after nearly a decade at Johnson & Johnson, where he held a number of senior level leadership roles.

In his new role, he will have responsibilities for the company’s Reconstructive, Trauma, Craniomaxillofacial (CMF), Joint Preservation, Extremities and Orthobiologics business units and will be based in Mahwah, New Jersey.
