Hyginex Announces New CEO Shiva Swami and CSO Linda Smith

New Leadership Committed to Preventing HAIs Through Promoting Hand Hygiene
LOS ANGELES - Nov. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Hyginex hand hygiene improvement technology announces the recent hire of Chief Executive Officer Shiva Swami and Chief Strategy Officer Linda Smith. The new leadership brings experience and passion for hand hygiene to the company that is focused on eliminating hospital acquired infections (HAIs) by promoting good hand hygiene.

Shiva Swami is the former CEO and founder of Excel Life Sciences, the first SAP employee at TopTier Software, later acquired by SAP for $400M, and has been a senior consultant for high tech, software and medical industries. He will bring extensive start-up world knowledge to his role at Hyginex overseeing global operations and expanding the customer base in the United States.

Linda Smith is a former hospital CEO of five hospitals (two located in California and three in the Midwest) with more than twenty-five years of experience in healthcare. She will be responsible for developing partnerships, shaping strategy, engaging hospital customers and raising funds for Hyginex.

CEO Shiva Swami says, “Hospital acquired infections are completely preventable. I am most excited by recent technology and regulatory changes that make this a solvable problem, one that healthcare can afford.”

“I am excited to be part of a team that is dedicated to improving patient safety. The Hyginex technology can make a huge difference in the hand hygiene monitoring space, which has been mostly monitored manually in hospitals. These manual audits are time consuming and ineffective for hospitals, and Hyginex can help streamline these processes,” comments CSO Linda Smith.

The CEO and CSO are driving Hyginex’s vision to reduce HAIs through proper hand hygiene and will help accelerate growth and expand their customer base in the U.S. Through strong leadership and a dedicated team, Hyginex continues its commitment to be the best hand hygiene improvement technology in healthcare and an integral part of strong infection prevention programs.
