Dear Business & Industry Insider,
Tyco International hasn't exactly had one of the most sterling brands in recent years. The Pembroke, Bermuda-based company became a poster child for management excess due to the activities of former executives, and is still rebuilding its reputation.
So perhaps it's understandable that when given the chance to split from Tyco in a three-way spinoff, executives in Tyco's healthcare business chose an entirely new brand to represent the entity: Covidien.
The new Covidien is a nearly $10 billion company, with activities ranging from surgical supplies to pharmaceuticals to medical imaging products -- which is why Covidien is the subject of this edition's Insider Exclusive article, sent to Business & Industry Insiders before the rest of AuntMinnie's membership.
In the story, Covidien executive Rick Lytle, U.S. vice president and general manager of Covidien Imaging Solutions, talks with AuntMinnie.com about the businesses that make up Covidien, the company's changing strategy, and what to expect in the future. Read all about it by clicking here.
