Eden Prairie, Minnesota (October 26, 2022) – Starkey Chief Health Officer, Archelle Georgiou, MD, has
been named a 2022 Women’s Health Leadership TRUST Award winner in the Health and Wellbeing
category. This local award honors Minnesota women in healthcare who are boldly advancing the
industry, in addition to caring for the wellbeing of individuals, organizations, and the community.
“I want to congratulate Archelle on this well-deserved recognition,” said Starkey President and CEO
Brandon Sawalich. “Her dedication to improving the overall health of our patients, as well as our
employees, is helping people understand that better hearing isn’t just nice to have, but essential. We
are continuing to push the boundaries of innovation to help patients hear better and live better, every
day.”
As a nationally renowned physician and medical executive, Dr. Georgiou remains the hearing industry’s
first and only Chief Health Officer. Working to improve the wellness and quality of life for people with
hearing loss, Dr. Georgiou was instrumental with the launch of Starkey’s newest and most advanced line
of hearing aids to date, Evolv AI. These hearing aids have embedded sensors to help patients with their
overall healthcare management, such as activity tracking, social engagement, and virtual assistant tools
for medication reminders, ‘find my hearing aids,’ language translation, and more. With the leadership of
Dr. Georgiou, Evolv AI set the stage for an entirely new hearing ecosystem that uniquely emphasizes
hearing’s impact on overall health and wellness.
“I believe that if more people were aware of the connection between better hearing and improved
overall health outcomes, less people would delay addressing their hearing loss,” said Dr. Georgiou. “For
that reason, I am incredibly passionate about raising awareness for this cause, and my hope is that my
work will help our patients live richer, more fulfilled lives.”
