PainTEQ, a US-based medical device innovator company, announced that it has hired Shanth Thiyagalingam as its Chief Commercial Officer. PainTEQ is the creator of the LinQ SI Joint Stabilization System, a minimally invasive therapy for SI joint dysfunction.
In his new role, Thiyagalingam will oversee the company’s commercial strategy focused on sales, marketing and professional education with the goal of increasing patient access to the LinQ procedure, which relieves sacroiliac (SI) joint pain. Among various commercial initiatives, he will lead a training program to provide instruction and certification for doctors who want to incorporate LinQ into their practice.
“Patient and physician satisfaction with the novel LinQ system indicates that PainTEQ is poised to become the industry leader in treating chronic SI joint pain,” said Thiyagalingam. “We’re also fortunate to be working with an impressive roster of clinicians and other experts advocating across the country about the best-in-class benefits of LinQ.”
Thiyagalingam holds nearly two decades of experience in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries.
Prior to this role, Thiyagalingam worked at Abbott as General Manager APAC Neuromodulation, where he led commercial efforts across Australia, Japan and Asia, targeted to alleviate chronic pain and movement disorders. He has also held key management positions at Nevro, Stryker, and St. Jude Medical.
“Shanth elevates our business to another level,” said PainTEQ CEO Sean LaNeve. “His clinical and business acumen give us the capabilities of a top tier medical device company. His presence and reputation in the market will allow us to scale our service to physicians and their patients across the country and beyond.”
