AVONDALE, Pa., Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CQ Medical is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Galbus as Chief Executive Officer. Michael previously served as Chief Operating Officer, where he played a key role in enhancing operational performance, advancing the company’s growth strategy, and building trust across the executive team while championing the growth and development of his team members.
A cancer survivor, Michael has a deeply personal connection to CQ Medical’s mission of improving care and outcomes for patients and clinicians. He is recognized for his collaborative leadership style, sharp strategic mindset, and ability to turn ambitious goals into measurable results. Over the past several years, he has consistently fostered innovation, execution, and team development across the organization.
Michael brings more than 30 years of leadership experience across highly regulated industries, including aerospace, building products, chemicals, and medical devices. He has learned to quickly identify what makes organizations in different sectors succeed and has applied those insights to deliver performance and growth. His leadership journey has included senior roles at global companies such as Dow Inc., Saint-Gobain, Zodiac Aerospace, and ACTEGA, culminating in his appointment as CEO of CQ Medical.
