Patel and Melvin will work together in the coming months to ensure a smooth and orderly transition, the specialist medical imaging technology company said.
Patel joins Feedback Medical from hVIVO Ltd, a subsidiary of AIM-listed clinical services provider Open Orphan PLC (LON:ORPH), where most recently he was finance & corporate projects director.
Prior to hVIVO, he spent seven years in investment banking where he specialised in corporate finance advisory services, at leading banks including Société Générale and Standard Bank.
“He brings a wealth of wide-ranging corporate and commercial finance experience and will provide a safe pair of hands as we begin the process of succession planning following Lindsay's notice of retirement,” chairman Rory Shaw said in a release.
“Lindsay will be very much missed, but we believe that in the coming months, together they will set the company in good shape to build its future - based on the company's flagship clinical communications platform, Bleepa."
