Outside of work, Aubert enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, exploring national parks, and skiing and hiking throughout Colorado.
“I’m pleased to pass the torch to Lisa as she takes the lead of this incredible organization. Her broad range of experience within Cochlear and her deep knowledge and understanding of our customers has prepared her for this role,” said Manna. “I know Lisa agrees with this sentiment that it’s an honor to get to come to work every day at a ‘get-to job.’ We get to help people hear and we get to work with a team that’s mission driven, and what a wonderful journey it has been.”
In his retirement, Manna looks forward to spending more time with his wife and two adult children, staying active, gardening, traveling, and volunteering in the community.
“I’m humbled by the opportunity to lead this extraordinary region within Cochlear,” said Aubert. “Through Tony’s leadership, we’ve delivered strong growth in sales revenue by expanding awareness and driving referrals for our implantable hearing solutions, and we’ve focused on customer service and support to strengthen our competitive position. I’m inspired daily by our recipients and our employees who tirelessly serve our customers, and I will work hard to continue to deliver results so we can help more people hear and service those who will be with us for a lifetime.”
