I am confident he will do an amazing job as President and continue to contribute greatly to the success of Orthofix.”

“Since 1986, Orthofix Bone Growth Therapy has helped promote the natural-bone healing process in patients,” said Shallenberger. “I am honored to continue my career with the company in this new role as we continue to innovate and bring new technologies to the market.”

Shallenberger joined Orthofix in 2005 as a Territory Manager and quickly moved into the role of District Sales Manager before being promoted to the position of Regional Sales Director in 2008. He was promoted to Vice President of U.S. Sales and Marketing in 2011 and led his team to 30 consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth, outpacing annual market growth rates, and was given additional responsibilities for medical education in 2023. Prior to joining Orthofix, Shallenberger worked as a specialty sales representative with Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals. He is a graduate of the University of Nebraska.
