Chief Commercial Officer financial

"appointment of Paul Miele as the Company’s SVP, Chief Commercial Officer"

A chief commercial officer (CCO) is the senior executive responsible for a company’s revenue-generating activities, including sales, marketing, pricing, customer relationships and business development. Think of the CCO as the head coach who builds the game plan to win customers and grow sales; their effectiveness affects how fast a company earns money, enters new markets and sustains profits, making the role a key signal for investors about future revenue and competitive strength.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"Statements made in this press release that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regulatory

"subject to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"

installed base financial

"reactivated the installed base, strengthened service and solutions monetization"

Installed base is the total number of a company’s products or systems that are currently in use by customers. Investors watch it because a larger installed base often means steady revenue opportunities from repeat purchases, upgrades, accessories, or service contracts—think of it like the number of cars a brand has on the road that can return for fuel, repairs, or new parts over time.

MADISON, Wis., April 6, 2026 — Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY), a leading provider of radiation therapy systems for cancer treatment, today announced the appointment of Paul Miele as Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, effective April 6, 2026. Miele will join Accuray’s executive leadership team and lead the company’s global commercial organization as Accuray continues to advance its transformation and strengthen execution across its portfolio.

“Paul brings deep global commercial leadership experience and a strong track record of driving transformation and sales growth in complex medical technology businesses,” said Steve La Neve, President and Chief Executive Officer of Accuray. “His background in rebuilding commercial operating models, accelerating capital equipment and services sales, and unlocking recurring revenue opportunities will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen our commercial performance and position Accuray for long‑term value creation.”

Mr. Miele is a seasoned commercial executive with nearly two decades of experience leading and scaling global capital medical device businesses across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Most recently, Mr. Miele served as Business Unit Leader and General Manager for the MONARCH™ robotic platform at Johnson & Johnson MedTech, where he was recruited to lead a commercial turnaround. In that role, he rebuilt the commercial operating model, reactivated the installed base, strengthened service and solutions monetization, and accelerated capital equipment sales, reversing a revenue decline trend and generating double digit percentage annual sales growth during his tenure. Prior to Monarch, Mr. Miele was similarly successful in senior commercial roles at Globus Medical and Intuitive Surgical.

As Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Miele will be responsible for defining and executing Accuray’s global commercialization strategy across sales, marketing, pricing and market access, commercial partnerships, and launch excellence.

I’m excited to join the team and help drive growth in systems and services sales, with a particular focus on marketing and selling value-added solutions to our customers, on commercial execution, and on carrying out Accuray’s mission for the benefit of countless customers and patients.”
