Stephen Fanning has been named president and chief executive officer of Thermage, Inc. Mr. Fanning replaces Robert Byrnes, who is leaving Thermage to attend to the health concerns of a close family member, the Hayward company says.
Prior to his joining Thermage, Mr. Fanning was president, CEO and a member of the board of directors of Ocular Sciences, Inc., (NASDAQ: OCLR) of Concord. Ocular Sciences was the fifth largest soft contact lens marketer and manufacturer in the world prior to its acquisition by Cooper Companies, Inc. (NYSE: COO), of Pleasanton, earlier this month for $1.3 billion. The combined company is estimated to be the world's third-largest contact lens company.
