Textbook example of a bad global merger!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None since company merged and the headquarters (and senior management positions) moved out of the USA.

Cons

Neuromodulation business was profitable when company could focus on only VNS therapy (Cyberonics). Once company merged, seems like most all profits from VNS were used to fund the Cardiac surgery (which were costly franchises with little to no profit margins). Management focus now turned to keeping the European franchises afloat, resulting in big challenges to VNS product lines. Also attempts to standardize procedures (make them global) have also created problems since the requirements for operating in different global regions are very different. Functional staff at each of the locations are required to deal with the resulting (non-optimal) procedures. Not a good situation.

Thank you for taking the time to shed light on your experience at LivaNova. We are sorry to hear your experience was not as positive in the last years, as it used to be. As we grow and develop as a global organization, we are determined to improve our processes, communication, and transparency across departments and teams. We will share your feedback with the Leadership team and once again, thanks for the feedback provided.
