David Trevor has joined the Company as Vice President, Managing Director UK and Head of the European Sales Force Effectiveness, Davide Buffoni has been appointed Managing Director, Spain, and François Ducret joins Nicox as Director of International Operations.

Our ambition is to become an international company in the ophthalmic area, and I am confident that the extensive experience of these new members of our senior team will provide a significant boost to our business expansion.”
