Nominations are Being Accepted for the 2020 Bioventus CEO Awards
It is time to nominate your peers and direct reports as Bioventus prepares to recognize employees who made exceptional contributions to the company in 2020. Recognition can come either in the scope of their current role or through special projects or initiatives beyond their daily responsibilities.
Given 2020 has been such a unique year, we expect many individuals will have demonstrated occasions where they supported the achievement of 2020 Business Objectives and support of our Vision, Mission, and Culture Principles: Achieve Goals, Develop Ourselves, Impact Patients and Value Others.
If you know of someone that is deserving of rewards and recognition, the first step is nominating that person for a CEO Award. All employees may nominate any one of their colleagues for this award and there may be more than one recipient of the CEO Award.
All CEO Award winners are then eligible for the big awards, and this year, the review and selection process has changed. First, with regard to the creation of a Selection Committee whose members include: Andrew Hosmer, Adrianne Brown, Ben Fishburn, Geena Portier, MK Kottke, Sarah Caley, Phil Stead and Vivek Munshi.
The Selection Committee will review all nominations to determine those meeting the CEO Award criteria and Bram Meijer will facilitate these discussions. The Selection Committee then makes recommendations for all winners, including the winners of major award categories: Major Impact, Ultimate Team Player, Key Innovator Award, Philanthropy Award and Talent Ambassador.
The Executive Leadership Team then reviews the recommendations for the major awards to determine the winners. Additional details on our major awards are as follows:
Major Impact Award
The Major Impact Award recipient will be an employee who meets the CEO Award criteria and whose performance contributed significantly to our Company’s business results in 2020 and potentially beyond. The Executive Leadership Team will choose one recipient from those nominated for a CEO Award.
Ultimate Team Player Award
The Ultimate Team Player Award recipient will be an employee who meets the CEO Award criteria and who is a role model in demonstrating the Culture Principles.

The Executive Leadership Team will choose one recipient from those nominated for a CEO Award.
Key Innovator Award
The Key Innovator Award recipient will be an employee who meets the CEO Award criteria and who implemented positive change and business results that required creativity, innovation, and the tenacity to drive the change. The Executive Leadership Team will choose one recipient from those nominated for a CEO Award.
Philanthropy Award
First introduced as part of the 2019 Awards, the Philanthropy Award recipient will be an employee who meets the CEO Award criteria and exemplifies the Culture Principle – Develop Ourselves through their work to transform the lives of those outside of Bioventus.

New in 2020, the Talent Ambassador recipient will be an employee who meets the CEO Award criteria and who helped Bioventus attract, hire and retain top talent by using their professional and personal networks to find and engage talent that matches Bioventus hiring needs.
