He’s been an important leader in an executive team that has positioned ResMed to improve the lives of many millions of people living with chronic respiratory diseases and countless more seeking to age healthily and outside the hospital. Personally, Dave has been a trusted advisor, partner, friend, and mentor to me through the years, I will miss his guidance, insights, and quick sense of humor.”

“My best wishes to Dave on a much-deserved retirement, and congratulations to Amy on her well-earned appointment,” Farrell said. “Through an internal search process, we will identify a well-qualified successor for the global general counsel role ahead of Dave’s retirement to ensure a smooth transition into these critical roles.
