SS Innovations International Inc. (NASDAQ: SSII), a developer of surgical robotic technologies, has appointed veteran medical technology finance executive Sarah M. Romano as chief financial officer, effective August 3, 2026. The appointment adds public-company financial and capital markets experience as the company continues its global expansion and advances regulatory initiatives for its SSi Mantra robotic surgical platform.
Romano brings more than two decades of experience in public-company finance, capital markets, and medical technology, having raised more than $100 million during her career. She joins SS Innovations after serving as CFO at Vicarious Surgical, another developer of robotic surgical technologies, where she oversaw financial and operational initiatives designed to reduce cash burn and strengthen the company's balance sheet.
The appointment comes as SS Innovations continues pursuing U.S. FDA clearance for its SSi Mantra surgical robotic system while expanding internationally. The company recently graduated the inaugural class of its SS International Centre for Robotics Surgery (SSICRS) cardiac robotic surgery training program, which welcomed 33 healthcare professionals from seven countries. This underscores the company's emphasis on surgeon education alongside technology deployment.
SS Innovations is focused on broader commercialization of its SSi Mantra platform while preparing for U.S. FDA review (https://nnw.fm/yY4UM). The company's newsroom provides updates on its progress (https://nnw.fm/SSII).
