Born in Zimbabwe, Africa and moving to Europe in 1999, Craig is an Engineer by trade who has focused on orthopaedics for the last nineteen years.

With a career both in contract manufacturing and in the OEM side of the industry as a Technical, Quality and Regulatory Director, Craig can fuse the customer's needs with our offerings. Craig's focus is improving our operations and incorporating our customers' downstream requirements into our processes, adding value far greater than the product itself.

Having designed and developed products, managed regulatory pathways and approvals, spent endless hours in the operation room, attained a University Certificate in Orthopaedic Medical Technology and a Post Graduate Certificate in Business Administration on his way to his MBA, he is well-placed to fuse the demands of all stakeholders into the hg strategic offering.

Craig's knowledge of the space, as comprehensive as it is, is second to his passion for contributing to the growth, development and value-adding offerings of hg medical.

I joined hg medical at the beginning of 2024 as the new Managing Director and, in my role as CFO, I am responsible for the commercial management of the group of companies. Together with my team, I am responsible for controlling, treasury, accounting, taxes and information technology. Our goal is the profitable growth of the group of companies and the further development of hg medical.

After graduating from high school in Weilheim, I studied business administration in Ingolstadt and began my professional career with a large corporation. A few years and a lot of experience later, I joined a medium-sized company in the technology and automotive industry. Since 2010, I have held various financial management, CFO and management roles. During this time, I have also gained a lot of international experience, including as Regional Asia CFO in China in various manufacturing industries.

I am delighted to be able to help shape the growth path of hg medical and to offer our customers the best products and the best possible service with the great team here at the site and internationally.

I have been with hg medical USA since day one back in 2014, taking the idea of a US based branch manufacturing facility and turning it into reality. The opportunity to design a facility and workflow from the ground up, coupled with the support and the incredible growth of hg medical has been nothing short of amazing.
Having graduated with an emphasis in Machining from Marshall University and the Robert C.
