NEW YORK– PAVmed Inc. (Nasdaq: PAVM, PAVMZ) (the “Company” or “PAVmed”), a diversified commercial-stage medical technology company and parent of cancer prevention company Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (Nasdaq: LUCD) (“Lucid”), today announced the appointment of Shaun O’Neil to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, overseeing diverse corporate operations and commercial activities across the Company and its subsidiaries. Mr. O’Neil has served as PAVmed’s Chief Commercial Officer and Executive Vice President, Business Development since joining the Company in 2018. He will serve on the Company’s Executive Committee and as an executive officer pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
“Mr. O’Neil has been an invaluable member of our company and its leadership team since joining us nearly four years ago, including playing a central role in our transition to a commercial enterprise,” said Lishan Aklog M.D., PAVmed’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “He has built a solid and rapidly expanding commercial infrastructure—including sales, marketing, and market access—most notably for Lucid and its products, as well as nascent commercial teams for other commercial and near-commercial products. He has also played important roles in numerous other critical corporate initiatives, including the launch of our Lucid Test Center network, our transition to a dedicated CLIA-certified laboratory and in various business development activities. His deep involvement in operational and commercial activities across the breadth of the company make him the ideal candidate to serve as our inaugural COO, a position launched to accommodate our rapid growth to nearly one hundred employees over the past year.”

I look forward helping execute on our vision to transform PAVmed into a leading global medical technology company.”
