Theraclion announced the hire of Dennis Guo as business development director for Asia and confirms its presence in Asia after the recent opening of a branch in Hong-Kong under the lead of Sylvain Yon. In his new role, Guo is responsible for growing the Asia market for Echopulse, Theraclion's echotherapy technology that uses ultrasound image guidance to non-invasively treat tumors with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). Guo will oversee marketing, sales and clinical development for the region and will implement the company's strategy with its local distributors.

He will also work to establish a key opinion leader network within Asia. Guo will be based out of the new Asia office in Hong Kong, where he'll be well positioned to build and grow relationships with customers, distributors and prospects. Guo brings nearly 15 years of healthcare business development experience in Asia particularly in Greater China and Southeast Asia.

Previously he served as the Regional Marketing & Sales Manager for Hologic in Asia.
