Pacira Appoints Max Reinhardt as President

Pacira BioSciences, Inc. announced the appointment of Max Reinhardt as the company’s president. Mr. Reinhardt will report to Dave Stack, chairman and chief executive officer of Pacira, and be responsible for overseeing all commercial and medical affairs functions at Pacira. Mr. Stack will maintain leadership of the Pacira commercial and corporate strategy.

Mr. Reinhardt was most recently Vice President of Marketing for DePuy Synthes, part of the Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies, where he was accountable for $5.5 billion in revenue from its comprehensive portfolio of solutions for medical specialties including joint reconstruction, trauma, craniomaxillofacial, spinal surgery and sports medicine. Mr. Reinhardt also led the DePuy Synthes alliance strategy, which included managing its partnership with Pacira.

"We are delighted to officially welcome Max to the Pacira team. Having worked closely with him throughout our partnership with Johnson & Johnson, I am confident that Max’s vast experience successfully commercializing products across a variety of surgical specialties will be of great benefit to Pacira as we continue to drive robust EXPAREL growth and integrate the iovera system into our commercial offering," said Dave Stack, chairman and chief executive officer of Pacira. "Max’s commitment to reducing or eliminating opioid exposure directly aligns with our corporate mission and we are excited to add his expertise to our leadership team as we work towards becoming a premier provider of innovative non-opioid pain management and regenerative health solutions."

"Working with Pacira over the last two years, I have seen firsthand the accelerating role of EXPAREL as the foundation of opioid-sparing pain management protocols," said Mr. Reinhardt. "Looking ahead, I believe there is tremendous potential for EXPAREL-based enhanced recovery pathways to optimize patient outcomes in both orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries, particularly when considering the ways in which anesthesiologists are driving change by implementing EXPAREL-based regional approaches as the core of non-opioid multimodal strategies. With iovera° we have the unique opportunity to solidify our leadership in non-opioid pain management by offering healthcare providers a total procedural solution for low- or no-opioid total knee arthroplasty procedures. I am looking forward to working with this talented team and expect this transition will be seamless."
