“As we expect FDA approval by the end of 2024, the hiring of an experienced commercial leader is instrumental in further accelerating our U.S. go-to-market strategy into a concrete launch execution plan. This starts with having a commercial team fully operational by year-end. Scott is a dynamic and creative leader with countless accomplishments in building high-performing teams and developing new markets for innovative technologies,” commented Olivier Taelman, Nyxoah Chief Executive Officer. “This appointment is the kickoff of building a team of world-class patient- and clinician-focused professionals, supporting Nyxoah’s mission to make sleep simple again for OSA patients.”

Nyxoah’s strong DREAM study results and Genio’s success in markets outside of the U.S. have demonstrated the potential of Genio’s breakthrough and unique solution. Both patients and physicians are eagerly awaiting a second player in the HGNS field. I am thrilled to be part of the team building out a patient-focused commercial operation that prioritizes the success of our healthcare provider partners in treating OSA,” added Scott.
