Eric Brown, who originally joined Cortland Biomedical in 2018 and previously served as General Manager from 2022 through January 2025, has returned to the role following a brief hiatus. His deep understanding of the company’s operations, long-standing relationships with partners and team members, and proven leadership record position him to guide Cortland Biomedical through its next phase of growth and innovation.

Ken DeGraff, who guided the Cortland Biomedical team with focus, professionalism, and care as acting General Manager for the last nine months, successfully ensured that operations remained strong and that business priorities continued to move forward.
