Amy Jo Meyer Succeeds Torod Neptune As Medtronic's CCO

(MENAFN- PRovoke) MINNEAPOLIS - Medtronic has named Amy Jo Meyer chief communications officer, following Torod Neptune's decision to step down after nearly five years leading the company's global communications and corporate marketing function.

Meyer, who has been with Medtronic for eight years, most recently served as VP of corporate communications. She announced the appointment in a LinkedIn post, calling it an“honor” and emphasizing the role of communications in building trust and connecting people to the company's mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life.

“I'm proud to lead an incredible global team that brings passion, creativity, and deep purpose to everything we do,” Meyer wrote, while also thanking Neptune for his leadership and support.

Neptune will join the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill this fall as a tenure-track assistant professor at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. In addition to teaching, he plans to continue advising corporate leaders on navigating societal change.

During his time at Medtronic, Neptune oversaw changes to how the company approached communications and marketing, including efforts to expand its global capabilities and integrate data and AI tools into its work. He also supported initiatives focused on stakeholder engagement and Medtronic's philanthropic efforts through the Medtronic Foundation and Medtronic Labs.

“Leaving a global industry-leading 100,000-strong organization like Medtronic is never easy,” Neptune wrote“But I do so with deep gratitude for the teammates and colleagues who made this journey so rewarding.”
