Hollingshead succeeds Shervin Korangy, who will continue to serve as an advisor to BVI and begin a new role as senior advisor to <strong>TPG Capital<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hollingshead<\/strong> brings more than 20 years of experience leading and growing medical device and life sciences companies. He most recently served as the CEO of Insulet, an innovative leader in insulin delivery. During <strong>Hollingshead\u2019s<\/strong> tenure, Insulet furthered its market leadership through expanded product offerings, including the launch of the industry\u2019s first patch pump automated insulin delivery system. Previously, Hollingshead spent 12 years at ResMed, where he last served as President for the company\u2019s sleep and respiratory care business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have long been inspired by the role that technology innovation can play in improving patient experience and outcomes,\u201d said Hollingshead. \u201cBVI is transforming vision care through a simple and effective mission to deliver trusted, innovative solutions tailored to the unique needs of physicians and their patients. It\u2019s a privilege to join the BVI team as we build on the company\u2019s already strong momentum and launch multiple new, industry-leading platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the past several years, <strong>BVI<\/strong> has continued its momentum and meaningfully expanded its purpose-built portfolio. The company has developed one of the most robust product pipelines in the industry and now delivers a full procedural solution for the cataract and retina surgical market. The company expanded its intraocular lens (IOL) platform to meet growing global demand and introduced new product lines such as <strong>SERENITY<\/strong> and <strong>SERENITY<\/strong> Toric, which deliver far and intermediate range vision. In 2025, BVI received FDA approval for its <strong>FINEVISION<\/strong> <strong>HP<\/strong> trifocal <strong>IOL<\/strong>, bringing its global leadership position in premium IOLs to U.S. patients. The company also debuted its FDA-cleared Leos\u2122 glaucoma system, marking a significant advancement in glaucoma care, and unveiled Virtuoso\u00ae, a novel dual-function phaco-vitrectomy platform for cataract and vitreoretinal procedures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJim\u2019s strategic vision, insight, and track record of innovation and transformation in the medical device industry make him an excellent fit for BVI as the company continues to advance its market leadership and scale its impact globally,\u201d said <strong>Ron Labrum<\/strong>, Chairman of BVI. \u201cWe want to recognize Shervin for his leadership as BVI developed one of the most innovative product portfolios in the industry and know the team will continue to benefit from his expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank the entire BVI team for their partnership in transforming the company into the dynamic platform it is today,\u201d said Korangy. \u201cI am proud of the breadth of portfolio and pipeline we have built, creating a challenger to the long-standing status quo in the industry. I look forward to continuing to support the company as it builds on its strong roadmap under Jim\u2019s leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>About BVI<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>BVI<\/strong>\u00ae is a diversified global ophthalmic device company with a mission to deliver <strong>high-quality solutions<\/strong> and innovation for advancing eye surgery and improving patients\u2019 vision.
