Robert Eno Assumes Duties of Chief Business Officer

Jon Hunt to Remain Strategic Advisor & Consultant to HeartBeam

SANTA CLARA, CA – March 8, 2023 – HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a cardiac technology company that has developed the first and only 3D-vector electrocardiogram (VECG) platform for heart attack detection anytime, anywhere, has announced a senior leadership change ahead of key milestones in 2023 including FDA clearance for the HeartBeam AIMI™ system and FDA submission of the HeartBeam AIMIGo™ 3D vector ECG first generation product. HeartBeam President Robert Eno will be assuming the duties and responsibilities of Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer Jon Hunt, Ph.D., who will be stepping down from his current position and transitioning to the role of strategic advisor and consultant for the Company, effective March 15, 2023.

During his tenure, Dr. Hunt has made significant contributions to HeartBeam’s business efforts, leading numerous initiatives and introductions with partner manufacturing and technology companies and health systems providers.

“Jon has made numerous critical contributions to HeartBeam by leading our planning efforts for market introductions of our products,” said Branislav Vajdic, Ph.D., HeartBeam CEO and Founder. “We understand his desire for a change of pace and a better work-life-balance, and we are excited that Jon will, as a key consultant, stay close to our strategic discussions and decisions. His dedication and commitment to HeartBeam have been greatly appreciated, and he will be missed in his current role. On behalf of the entire team at HeartBeam, we thank Jon for his outstanding service and leadership, and look forward to his expertise and insights in a consultancy role.”

Dr. Hunt added, “It has been a privilege to serve as CBO of HeartBeam, and I am incredibly proud of the rapid pace of our product timeline and our team’s ability to scale our commercialization path. After almost four decades in the cardiovascular medical device industry, I want to spend more time focusing on my family in the UK and US. I look forward to continuing to work with the team as a consultant, focusing on business strategy as the Company brings this breakthrough technology to market for high-risk cardiac patients.”
