HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical technology

insights wherever the patient is, announced that Robert Eno has
been appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective Monday,
October 21, 2024. The seasoned MedTech executive joined HeartBeam
as President in January 2023 and will lead as the Company continues
to work towards securing the foundational FDA 510(k) clearance for
its vector-based technology and prepares for commercialization and
growth.
As part of the long-planned transition, Branislav Vajdic, Ph.D.,
Founder and current CEO, will move into the role of President. In
this role, Dr. Vajdic will focus on further innovating on the
Company’s groundbreaking vector-based technology, driving research

applications.
“HeartBeam is at an important inflection point and the
transition comes at the right time where we can best leverage the
unique strengths of each leader. Branislav’s commitment to
innovation and vision of providing unprecedented cardiac insights
has enabled the Company to reach this pivotal point and we will
continue to benefit from his drive to unlock the transformative
opportunities ahead. Likewise, Rob has spent his career growing
companies with innovative technologies, based on his keen
understanding of sales, strategic marketing and go-to-market
strategies, while maximizing value for stakeholders, and I am
confident that his deep experience will ensure the Company is well
positioned for success,” said Rich Ferrari, Executive Chairman,
Board of Directors, HeartBeam.
HeartBeam’s core vector-based technology captures the heart’s
electrical signals from three dimensions to provide total heart
intelligence. The Company’s first application of the technology is
a cable-free, credit card-sized device that is designed to be
capable of synthesizing a 12-lead ECG. The HeartBeam system is
currently under review with the FDA. The Company has 13 issued U.S.
patents and 4 issued international patents supporting the
underlying technology.
“The HeartBeam technology is truly transformative and stands to
change how cardiac care is managed in the future. We’ve only
scratched the surface of unlocking new insights and understanding
how our data-rich signals can benefit physicians and patients,”
commented Mr. Eno. “I am honored to lead the Company at this
exciting time and look forward to my continued partnership with
Branislav as we evolve our business and technology to deliver on
strategic objectives.”
With over 30 years of experience, Mr. Eno, age 57, is a
passionate leader who has created go-to-market strategies for
multiple breakthrough products including noninvasive FFRCT for
diagnosing coronary artery disease, laser cataract surgery,
scanning retinal laser photocoagulation, and intravascular
brachytherapy. Before joining HeartBeam, Mr. Eno was Chief
Executive Officer of Preview Medical, a diagnostic equipment
company creating a new category of real-time, in vivo tissue
classification for solid tumor cancers, using machine learning and
