MICAH YOUNG
CFO
MASIMO CORP.
WHY: Oversaw major shift in company’s strategy by taking technology long sold to hospitals and applying it to consumer products like watches. Investors who didn’t like strategy voted out founder/CEO Joe Kiani in September with Young staying as of press time.
IN THE NEWS: Company earlier this year decided to spin off consumer unit.
NOTABLE: Won Business Journal CFO of the Year Award in 2023 in public company category.
QUOTABLE: “I think it was challenging for stockholders to really understand how to value the company when it’s more of a hybrid between healthcare and consumer. We think the best opportunity is to separate it out where both companies can succeed and drive value for shareholders.”
