WaveLight Inc. announces that Ken Nelson has joined the company as chief financial officer (CFO). Nelson will oversee finance-related strategic and operational decisions for the U.S. subsidiary of WaveLight AG.

The appointment strengthens the U.S. executive management team led by Chief Executive Officer Wolfgang Tolle that includes Blake Michaels, vice president of sales; Luca Sergio, vice president of marketing; Ric Tiplady, vice president of business development; and Beth Martinko, vice president of customer service.

"With three decades of international finance and operational experience, Ken Nelson has the practical insight to help guide WaveLight Inc. to its next stage of evolution," Tolle said.
