Akeeko Medical Appoints Mr. Ivan Mellado as Inaugural Chair

Akeeko Medical is pleased to welcome Ivan Mellado as our inaugural Chair.

Ivan brings more than 30 years of experience across sales and marketing, corporate development, and strategic management, including over 15 years focused on technology commercialisation.

As a chairman, investor, and hands-on director, he has played a pivotal role in scaling early-stage ventures across multiple sectors.

His expertise in strategic decision-making and governance will be invaluable as we advance toward clinical evaluation studies, regulatory readiness, and the commercialisation of our flagship product, the Akeeko Stent Inserter™ (ASI).

In Ivan’s words, "What I love about Akeeko is its hyper-focus on a clinician- and evidence-led approach to solving a real-world, widespread, and highly valuable problem for patients, clinicians, and the health system.
Although early in its journey, the company is already generating strong interest from clinicians and health authorities, moving methodically toward regulatory approval and market entry. I look forward to helping navigate the next stages, creating value for shareholders, supporting the leadership team, and bringing the Akeeko Stent Inserter™ to market."

We are thrilled to have Mr. Mellado’s guidance as we move into this next stage of growth.
