Ekso Bionics Holdings appointed Deborah Lafer Scher to its board of directors.
Scher brings experience driving growth and building innovative healthcare organizations in the public and private sectors. As a former executive advisor to four cabinet secretaries across two presidential administrations at the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), she led the Center for Strategic Partnerships and implemented more than $250 million in new programs. Currently, she is a senior advisor at the Milken Institute, a healthcare and economic think tank. She also serves as an independent director on the board at EnableComp, and as a board director at 2Serve Together.
“We are pleased to strengthen our board with the addition of Deborah Lafer Scher, a distinguished leader who brings a wealth of healthcare experience and a proven track record of business development expertise,” said Scott Davis, president and CEO of Ekso Bionics. “Deborah’s advisory roles with the VA and the Milken Institute, combined with her extensive board experience, make her a valuable addition to our board. We look forward to the strategic value and unique insights that Deborah will bring to Ekso.”
“I am honored to join Ekso’s Board at a pivotal time for the company, especially following the recent pricing determination for Medicare reimbursement of the Ekso Indego Personal,” said Scher.
