Canary Medical Announces Appointment of Lisa Suennen as President, Digital and Data Solutions

VANCOUVER, British Columbia and CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canary Medical, a medical data company focused on the development and commercialization of its patented implantable sensor technology and data management ecosystem, today announced the appointment of Lisa Suennen as President, Digital and Data Solutions. Ms. Suennen previously served as the Group Practice Lead for Manatt Phelps and Philips’ Digital and Technology Group and Managing Partner for the Manatt Venture Fund.

“I’m pleased to welcome another recognized healthcare leader to Canary Medical’s executive team. Lisa brings with her more than 30 years of experience in healthcare as an entrepreneur, operating executive, venture capitalist and strategy leader,” said Bill Hunter, Founding Member and Chief Executive Officer of Canary Medical. “Her deep understanding of the application of digital health and information technology in the health services, medical device and pharmaceutical industries will help guide the growth and commercialization of Canary Medical’s digital health and data-focused product offerings.”

“The future of healthcare is at the intersection of digital and data with devices, medicines and services. In five to ten years, we will all look back and wonder how we cared for patients without the informed insights that come from inside the patient’s own body,” said Ms. Suennen. “Canary is at the forefront of this opportunity, and I am thrilled to join this stellar team to help drive better healthcare forward.”
