Previously, Mr. Martha served as Medtronic’s Executive Vice President and President, Restorative Therapies Group, a role he held from August 2015 to November 2019. Mr. Martha also served as Senior Vice President of Strategy and Business Development of Medtronic from January 2015 to August 2015 and of Medtronic, Inc., a subsidiary of Medtronic, from August 2011 to August 2015. Prior to that, he served as Managing Director of Business Development at GE Healthcare from April 2007 to July 2011; General Manager for GE Capital Technology Finance Services from November 2003 to March 2007; Senior Vice President, Business Development for GE Capital Vendor Financial Services from February 2002 to October 2003; General Manager for GE Capital Colonial Pacific Leasing from February 2001 to January 2002; and Vice President, Business Development for Potomac Federal, the GE Capital federal financing investment bank, from May 1998 to January 2001.
