WARSAW — Bob Vitoux, the executive leader of OrthoWorx, has announced he’s stepping down.

On Monday, OrthoWorx announced that Vitoux, President and Chief Executive Officer, has informed the OrthoWorx Board that he plans to leave effective May 2.

A news release from OrthoWorx said he plans to rejoin Ambassador Enterprises, a Fort Wayne-based, legacy-minded enterprise investing as their Chief Financial Officer.

OrthoWorx Board Chairman, Terry Schlotterback, was complimentary, saying, “Since joining OrthoWorx in July 2022, Bob has been a ‘pivotal leader’ during a critical time for the organization.

“He brought with him a wealth of experience from his previous roles at Zimmer, Biomet, DePuy, Steinway, and Ambassador Enterprises. Under his leadership, OrthoWorx has made great strides in advancing its mission to support and promote the orthopedic industry in Warsaw,” Schlotterback said.

Schlotterback added that Vitoux also played a key role in securing the $30 million Orthopedic Industry Retention Initiative from the state of Indiana and has been instrumental in fostering innovation and collaboration within the orthopedic community – including helping to bring Plug and Play to Warsaw.

Vitoux expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to lead OrthoWorx, stating, “It has been an honor to serve as CEO of OrthoWorx and work alongside so many great community, education, and industry partners. I am extremely proud of all we’ve accomplished since my arrival, along with the remarkable team we have built, and I am confident they will continue to thrive and have a positive impact on the orthopedic industry and the communities we serve.”

The OrthoWorx Board of Directors has begun the search for a new CEO, aiming to ensure a smooth leadership transition and the continued success of the organization.

“We are confident that the next leader of OrthoWorx will bring the same energy, industry knowledge and vision that Bob delivered here,” added Schlotterback.
