Dr. Moll is the founder of Intuitive Surgical and is widely regarded as the “father of surgical robotics.”
Dr. Moll brings a wealth of industry experience and expertise to the board: He oversaw the development and commercialization of the da Vinci surgical robotic system. He most recently served as Chief Development Officer for Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies from April 2019 to March 2023. Dr. Moll was a co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Auris Health, Inc., a robotics medical device company that was acquired by Johnson & Johnson in 2019. Dr. Moll is also the Founding Partner of Sonder Capital Management, LLC, a healthcare venture capital investment firm.

“The strength and caliber of Dr. Moll’s leadership is peerless, and he will be a tremendous addition to our Board of Directors,” said Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, SS Innovations Chairman and CEO . “Joining us during the most robust phase of global growth to date, his appointment is perfectly timed. As a pioneer in robotic surgery, Dr. Moll offers a unique perspective and legacy as well as superior insight on the direction and promising future of the industry and SS Innovations.”
Dr. Moll added, “I am excited to help with SS Innovation’s mission to bring the benefits of robotic surgery not just to more people in the United States but also to the rest of the world. This technology should be available to everyone on the planet, and I believe the Company successfully addresses the reasons why others have not yet been able to do so. It is much more affordable than what is out there now without sacrificing any clinical capabilities. It even has capabilities such as in cardiac that no one else even has. I also believe that the system’s proven telesurgery capabilities as well as its related teaching and proctoring tools will prove invaluable.”
