I am delighted to announce the appointment of Nicole Carley as Commercial Director - Americas.

Nicole will officially start on 13 November 2026 as TASKA’s first US employee following last week’s announcement.

TASKA will establish direct operations in the US from 1 April 2027, and we are very pleased to welcome an experienced upper limb orthotics and prosthetics leader to our team.

Nicole combines deep medical device and prosthetics experience with a proven ability to build commercial organisations from the ground up. Three strengths are particularly relevant to TASKA and what we need to achieve as we build a market-leading US business:

#1 Building businesses from the ground up. Nicole has helped emerging medtech companies commercialise breakthrough technologies, establish market credibility and create the strategic value that empowers market leading performance. That entrepreneurial instinct is exactly what we need as we accelerate our growth across the Americas.

#2 Proven leadership in upper limb prosthetics. With over 15 years at Touch Bionics and Össur, Nicole played a significant role building and leading the upper limb business, expanding access to innovative technology and establishing enduring relationships with clinicians, distributors and industry leaders. Few people know the US upper limb market, or the people within it, as well as Nicole.

#3 People, relationships and purpose. Nicole has a strong record of developing high-performing teams and future leaders, and has long championed technologies that restore independence and confidence for people living with limb differences.

Nicoles leadership record strongly reflects our values of Care, Courage, Collaboration and Excellence. Her focus on customers, strategic partnerships and sustainable growth aligns closely with our mission to instil confidence through innovation, enabling others to unlock life’s full potential.

As Commercial Director – Americas, Nicole will report to myself, will join the TASKA Prosthetics Senior Leadership Team, and will co-chair our global Commercial Leadership Team.
