BRAINTREE, Mass., March 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: MBOT), developer of the innovative LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System, today announced the appointment of Paul Mullen, a seasoned medical device sales expert in the Endovascular space, to the newly created role of Vice President of Sales. Mr. Mullen has an extensive track record in sales, market development and management, and he will be responsible for leading the Company’s commercial sales in the United States. Mr. Mullen will report directly to Harel Gadot, the Company’s CEO, Chairman and President and his immediate responsibilities include building out the sales strategy and infrastructure to ensure a successful launch upon the FDA clearance. The Company reaffirms its expectation of the FDA decision during the second quarter of 2025.
Mr. Mullen has extensive market experience with medical devices for endovascular diseases, and has successfully launched innovative technologies and driven efficiencies across expansive sales territories.

Most recently, he was tasked with launching two new devices to treat chronic venous disease which affects over 1,000,000 patients in the United States. Prior to that he was at Philips Volcano, the endovascular division of the medical company that specializes in image-guided therapy products, where he launched multiple new technologies and generated sales of coronary and peripheral atherectomy product lines. Prior to that, he was the Southeast Regional Sales Manager at LeMaitre Vascular, Inc., a provider of devices for the surgical treatment of peripheral vascular disease, where he managed a team of direct sales representatives focused on vascular surgeons, C-suites and Value Analysis Committees.
