Royal Philips (NYSE:PHG) said today that it named former Airbus (EPA:AIR) executive Jean Botti as chief innovation & strategy officer, effective April 1, in a bid to grow its healthtech division.
Botti, who’s slated to start at the Dutch conglomerate April 1, succeeds Jim Andrew, who stepped down for personal reasons last year, Philips said. Botti has been chief technical officer at Airbus since 2006, following stints at Renault (EPA:RNO) and General Motors (NYSE:GM).
“I am very pleased that Jean Botti has decided to join Philips on our journey to extending our leadership in health technology, capitalizing on opportunities arising from the consumerization and industrialization of healthcare to transform the delivery of care,” CEO Frans van Houten said in prepared remarks.
