Michael Mogul, the head of Stryker Corp.’s (NYSE:SYK) $4-billion-plus orthopedics division, is off to greener pastures: The corner office at DJO Global Inc.
Mogul, 46, was with Stryker for most of his professional life. He joined the Kalamazoo, Mich.-based medical device giant in 1989 when he was just 24 years old and worked his way up to vice president of sales for the ortho division by 1994. He was named group president of Stryker’s backbone ortho section in September 2009.
Mogul will take his new position at Vista, Calif.-based DJO June 13, replacing Lee Cross (who will step up into a position as chairman).
