Axena Health, Inc, a medical device company focused on female pelvic health, announced the appointment of Randy Pritchard as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Pritchard brings nearly 25 years of experience in medical device and health technology, including leadership in driving commercial success, innovation, and strategic opportunities. His extensive background will be critical in advancing Axena Health’s mission to improve the lives of women affected by pelvic floor disorders such as urinary incontinence (UI) and fecal incontinence (FI).
Pritchard joins Axena Health with a proven track record in strategic leadership and business expansion. He most recently served as CEO of Pillar Biosciences, a sequencing diagnostics company supporting cancer patients, where he led daily operations, secured funding, and drove top and bottom-line performance. Pritchard’s prior leadership at Roche Diagnostics, where he held key roles as Senior Vice President of Marketing, further highlights his ability to launch disruptive new technologies and implement strategies that boost customer satisfaction and increase sales.
As CEO of Axena Health, Pritchard will oversee the company’s operations and growth strategy, focusing on expanding access to the company’s flagship product, the Leva® Pelvic Health System. The Leva System offers a non-invasive, medication-free solution for treating UI and FI, addressing critical gaps in the women’s health space. Under Pritchard’s leadership, Axena Health will continue building partnerships, raising capital to support growth, and executing on its vision to provide evidence-based, at-home, first-line treatments for female pelvic floor disorders.
