CooperVision hires Debbie Olive to VP role

CooperVision has made two new appointments at its Hampshire headquarters which it said would strengthen the level of practitioner support and focus provided across Europe.

Debbie Olive (pictured) joins the company as vice president of marketing for Europe, along with Dimple Shah as its new professional affairs and relations consultant.

Formerly director of marketing at Alcon CIBA Vision, Olive will be responsible for growing the manufacturer's contact lens business using what the company described as its principle of 'putting eye care practitioners at the core of all thinking.'

Shah, who CooperVision said had an extensive background in the contact lens industry, both in-practice and with manufacturers, will focus on developing the company's European training programme and provide practitioners with support to develop their businesses.
