Elscint names Sardano to NM post

Israeli multimodality vendor Elscint has named Joe Sardano head of its U.S. nuclear medicine business unit, a position that previously had been vacant. Prior to joining Elscint in November, Sardano was with Fisher Scientific, and has also worked for Park, Toshiba, and Diasonics. Sardano said his priorities in the position are to expand Elscint's sales force, broaden the company's marketing efforts, and improve the vendor's customer satisfaction levels in the U.S.

Sardano will report to Eliezer Tokman, the Elscint CT veteran who was named to head the company's Americas regional operations in a restructuring announced in November (SCAN 11/12/97). Elscint is moving its global nuclear medicine headquarters to the U.S. as part of the restructuring.
