Transmedics Appoints Gerardo Hernandez as New CFO Amid Strategic Growth Plans

Transmedics has appointed Gerardo Hernandez as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately, to drive the company's next phase of growth. Hernandez brings extensive biopharma experience, including leadership roles at Shire and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, and will focus on operational excellence and margin improvements. His predecessor, Stephen Gordon, who was CFO during Transmedics’ public debut in 2019, will continue to assist the company as a senior advisor through March 2025. The appointment comes as Transmedics adjusts its 2024 revenue outlook, now expecting $428 million to $432 million, lower than its initial forecast.

Hernandez’s transition is seen as a positive move by analysts, who believe his experience will help guide Transmedics through upcoming challenges and opportunities. The company is also facing intensifying competition, which is reflected in its revised financial expectations. For 2025, analysts expect revenue growth but caution that projections may be too optimistic.
