Said O’Boyle: “I have thoroughly enjoyed serving as part of the management team of NuVasive, helping to build the Company into a major player in the spine industry with a unique culture of Absolute Responsiveness. Unfortunately, personal obligations make a long term position as CFO of NuVasive extremely difficult to maintain. I would like to thank all NuVasive shareowners for making my time at NuVasive a remarkable one.”

CEO Alex Lukianov says that O’Boyle was very influential in his half dozen years with NuVasive.

“Kevin has been part of our executive team for the past 6 years, from fundraising as a private company, to our initial public offering, to helping build our corporate infrastructure for long term growth and continued market share gains,” said Lukianov. “We thank him for his contributions to the Company and wish him well as he attends to important family and personal matters.”

Lukianov went on to say that the company has begun their search for a new CFO and that NuVasive has a goal to reach $1 billion in sales.
