Asia-Pacific Region — Cook Medical announced today that Jean-Marc Creissel has been named vice president and director of Asia-Pacific.

In his new role, Creissel will lead the Asia-Pacific teams to transform Cook Medical into a truly modern global company with patients, customers and employees at the heart of daily operations.
