Company

Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) is an innovative medical device company dedicated to simplifying life for people with diabetes and other conditions through its Omnipod product platform. The Omnipod® Insulin Management System provides a unique alternative to traditional insulin delivery methods. With its simple, wearable design, the disposable and waterproof Pod provides up to three days of non-stop insulin delivery, without the need to see or handle a needle. Insulet’s latest innovation, the Omnipod® 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System, is a tubeless automated insulin delivery system, integrated with a continuous glucose monitor to manage blood sugar with no multiple daily injections, zero finger sticks, and is fully controlled by a compatible personal smartphone.

Insulet recently received FDA clearance for its Omnipod 5 for Type 2 Diabetes in the US, making it the first and only Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) system indicated for both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. Insulet also leverages the unique design of its Pod by tailoring its Omnipod technology platform for the delivery of non-insulin subcutaneous drugs across other therapeutic areas.

Studies have demonstrated the clinical and lifestyle advantages of insulin pump therapy over multiple daily insulin injections (MDI). However, many people still choose MDI therapy largely due to the complexity, cost, and inconvenience of conventional pump technology. The Omnipod is a discreet and easy-to-use system that eliminates many of the issues associated with conventional pumps. By breaking down the barriers to insulin pump therapy, Insulet hopes to provide both a superior treatment option and life-long health benefits for people with insulin- requiring diabetes.

Insulet was founded in 2000 with the mission to improve the lives of people with diabetes and enable customers to enjoy simplicity, freedom, and healthier lives through innovative technology. The Company’s world headquarters and state-of-the-art automated manufacturing facility are located in Acton, Massachusetts with global offices in the U.K., France, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates. Omnipod products are available in 25 countries around the world.

Insulet recently concluded its ninth consecutive year of 20% or more revenue growth, and more than doubled its intellectual property portfolio over the last year. Insulet is proud to be recognized as a 2024 LinkedIn Top Company in the United States; recognized as a Great Place to Work® in eight international locations in 2023; and ranked as one of America’s most responsible companies by Newsweek for 2025.

• Measuring execution and driving performance: establish common measurements of velocity, quality, capacity, stage gate execution, on-time launches, R&D vitality, spend tracking and reporting across portfolio.
• Standards & Compliance: Embed medical device quality and regulatory expectations (e.g., ISO 13485, 21 CFR 820, ISO 14971) into program governance and documentation; ensure design control traceability and audit readiness.
• Change & Stakeholder Management: Lead change plans; facilitate cross-functional alignment and decision- making; ensure effective cutover, adoption, and value capture.
