UTRECHT, the Netherlands, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ViCentra, a European medical device company commercializing the Kaleido insulin patch pump system, announced today that Reman McDonagh, PhD, has joined the Company as Vice President, Global Marketing. McDonagh's appointment further strengthens ViCentra's leadership team as the company scales commercial execution across Europe and advances preparations for its next-generation Kaleido system, including EU and U.S. launches.

McDonagh brings more than 20 years of experience in diabetes and medical device commercialization, spanning early-stage innovation through large-scale international growth. She has held leadership roles at Roche, Medtronic, Cellnovo, and Insulet, with responsibility across brand strategy, go-to-market planning, market development, and major product launches in both established and high-growth markets.

Her appointment builds on ViCentra's strong commercial and operational momentum, supported by the company's recent $98 million Series D financing extension.

"Reman joins ViCentra at a pivotal stage as we transition from strong early traction to disciplined, scalable growth," said Tom Arnold, Chief Executive Officer of ViCentra. "She brings a rare combination of deep diabetes expertise, end-to-end marketing leadership, and operational rigor, as we strengthen our presence in key European markets and prepare for U.S. market entry."

Most recently, McDonagh held senior international marketing leadership roles at Insulet, where she led the direct launch of Omnipod DASH across 12 European countries and shaped Insulet's European launch strategy for Omnipod 5.

In her new role, McDonagh will lead the global marketing strategy, including strengthening Kaleido's value proposition, accelerating demand generation in priority European markets, and driving cross-functional readiness for upcoming product launches.

"Kaleido is a truly differentiated insulin delivery system, and ViCentra has built meaningful momentum through a clear focus on the user experience," said Reman McDonagh, Vice President, Global Marketing at ViCentra. "I'm excited to join the team as we scale in key markets and prepare for the next generation of Kaleido, bringing greater choice, flexibility, and freedom to more people living with diabetes."

McDonagh holds a PhD in Chemistry and has led international teams across marketing, market development, and commercial strategy, supporting business units exceeding $400 million in annual revenue.

Her appointment follows a series of senior commercial leadership additions at ViCentra, reflecting the Company's commitment to building a world-class team capable of executing its long-term growth strategy and delivering meaningful impact for people living with diabetes.
