Analog Devices said that Larry Weiss will be joining the company on February 11, 2019 as Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Weiss will oversee ADI's global legal function including mergers and acquisitions, Intellectual Property, and compliance.

Weiss was most recently Vice President and General Counsel of Medtronic plc's Minimally Invasive Therapies Group (MITG), a $9 billion global medical device business. In that role, he led the Legal and Healthcare Economics and Reimbursement functions for the global MITG business.

Prior to that, he served as Vice President and General Counsel of Covidien Surgical Solutions, the largest global business unit at Covidien prior to its acquisition by Medtronic. Previously, Weiss held several global legal positions at Covidien and its predecessor company Tyco Healthcare.

“We are delighted to welcome Larry to Analog Devices,” said Chief People Officer and Chief Legal Officer Margaret Seif. “Larry's experience counseling CEOs and senior leaders on a wide spectrum of legal matters, from organizational transformation to strategic transactions to intellectual property, make him an excellent addition to ADI. We look forward to his leadership as we continue to drive ADI to ever greater levels of success.”
