During her medical school years, Professor of Medicine Beverly H. Lorell never thought she would end up as an officer in a large, publicly traded corporation—she was too busy trying to squeeze in some sleep between long hours of residency and study.
But last Thursday Lorell, who currently directs the heart failure program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, was appointed vice-president and chief medical and technology officer of Guidant Corporation, a maker of defibrillators and pacemakers. The appointment is effective Nov. 1.
Lorell said she made the decision to accept this new role in late August, after the Guidant leadership asked her to look at the position and learn about their company.
Lorell says she doesn’t feel like she is moving into the business sector.
Guidant stated in a press release that Lorell will be a strong advocate for the company’s public policy initiatives.
