Exactech, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXAC), a developer and producer of bone and joint restoration products for hip, knee, shoulder, spine and biologic materials, announced today the appointment of Bill Shopoff as vice president of U.S. sales for large joints. The appointment is effective today.

A 30-year veteran of the orthopaedic industry, Shopoff has provided global sales and business leadership for Smith & Nephew since 1984, most recently serving as president of the Trauma and Extremities franchise.

He replaces Bob Purcell who will retire after more than 40 years in orthopaedics and healthcare capital equipment sales. During Purcell’s six years as Exactech’s vice president of U.S. Sales, he strengthened the domestic sales team and led the organization to a compound annual growth rate of 10 percent.

“Bill Shopoff’s extensive experience in orthopaedic sales management is complemented by strong business leadership. These skills make him uniquely suited to build on the strong foundation that Bob Purcell has established within our domestic sales organization,” said Exactech President David Petty. “We have great appreciation for Bob Purcell’s contributions and plan to continue to leverage his expertise in strategic accounts contracting by engaging him as a consultant.”
