About DePuy Synthes
DePuy Synthes is a global leader in Orthopaedics, advancing patient care through innovative solutions across joint reconstruction, trauma, spine, sports medicine, and related surgical technologies. As DePuy Synthes separates from Johnson & Johnson to become the world’s largest, most comprehensive Orthopaedics-focused company, the organization is entering a defining chapter—establishing its own corporate identity, voice, culture, and reputation while continuing to serve patients, customers, and healthcare systems around the world.

In this capacity, the Chief Compliance Officer serves as a trusted advisor to senior management and the Board (or Board-level committee, if and when it becomes publicly traded company) on compliance, ethics, and risk matters, providing insight on emerging risks, regulatory trends, and mitigation strategies.
