Over the course of his distinguished career, Dan has earned a reputation as a highly respected business leader with a track record of building commercially successful organizations, and the Board looks forward to his immediate contributions.”

“Throughout my career, I have been passionate about helping companies deliver novel medical technologies to patients with unmet needs while building shareholder value,” Goldberger said. “I believe in the broad potential applicability of vagus nerve stimulation across a wide range of indications, and I look forward to working with the highly motivated leadership team at electroCore to fully realize the potential of its proprietary gammaCore non-invasive VNS device.”
