“Since inception, Adam and Sam have worked hard to develop an integrated technology portfolio to put Binovi on pole position in the burgeoning vision therapy space,” board chairman Terry Booth said in the announcement. “With this herculean effort behind us and the company’s solutions gaining significant traction across their target markets, it was felt that a leadership change was required to guide Binovi as it expands its commercial operations.”

Booth added, “Tania, who has been with the company for a little over two years now, has proven herself as an exceptional talent in terms of sales, marketing, operational leadership, and we are very pleased she has agreed to take on the role as interim CEO. The board will now initiate the process toward appointing a permanent CEO, as well as implement certain changes we consider as key to strengthen our governance.”

Archer also holds the appointment of interim chief operating officer, managing the day-to-day operations of Binovi, including global marketing and strategic partnership oversight.

”I am honored and excited to take on this new role and help guide the company as we accelerate growth and expansion,” she said. “Binovi is uniquely positioned to capitalize on numerous revenue generating opportunities in a market where momentum is driving a rapidly growing interest in vision therapy solutions.”
