Dave Rosa, a 25-year veteran at Intuitive, will fill the new position of EVP and chief strategy and growth officer, while Henry Charlton will serve as a chief commercial officer.
Marshall Mohr, who has served as CFO for 15 years, will take the new position of EVP for Global Business Services.
Replacing Mohr at CFO is Jamie Samath, who has been with Intuitive since 2013 and oversaw most finance functions as SVP of finance.
