The HJF said Monday Bono is the current CEO and chief of surgical innovation at Medical iSight, a 3D imaging and guidance software company for intra-procedural navigational guidance, and a senior fellow at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
Bono served as director of the Defense Health Agency, where she managed 55 military treatment facilities, 300 associated clinics and healthcare facilities worldwide.
