CooperVision has named Simon Seshadri as Senior Vice President, Global Marketing, effective immediately. He is responsible for executive leadership and management for the company’s Global Marketing organization, including driving product pipeline innovation and advancing standards for inbound and outbound marketing functions.
Seshadri was most recently CooperVision’s Vice President of Marketing, North America, where he also led commercial activation across key customer groups. He joined the company in 2014 as Senior Director, Global Brand Marketing for frequent replacement products, and was instrumental in introducing the Biofinity Energys® and Avaira Vitality™ contact lens brands.

These all required precise navigation of the business-to-provider-to-consumer model and an intimate understanding of healthcare professionals’ and consumers’ varying needs. His globally influenced vision and experiences will strengthen our partnerships with the eye care profession and spark additional market growth,” said Jerry Warner, Executive Vice President and President, Americas and Commercial Functions at CooperVision.
Seshadri earned his MBA from the London Business School and a Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing) from the University of British Columbia. He resides with his family in Pleasanton, Calif. and remains based at CooperVision’s headquarters in San Ramon, Calif.
He succeeds Guy Whittaker, who earlier this year was promoted to the position of CooperVision’s Senior Vice President, Global Strategy and Lifecycle Management.

As pediatric myopia increases globally in prevalence and severity, CooperVision remains committed to supporting programs, such as Our Children’s Vision implemented by the Brien Holden Foundation, that prioritize children’s eye health. Over the last three years, CooperVision has donated a percentage of its MiSight® 1 day contact lens sales to the program. This continued support alongside others has helped Our Children’s Vision meet and exceed significant milestones over the past year.
In its recently released Annual Impact Report, Our Children’s Vision outlined recent achievements. The program:
“From the newly issued report, it’s clear that Our Children’s Vision is reaching more children and providing greater access to eye health services in underserved communities than ever before,” said James Gardner, Vice President, Global Myopia Management, CooperVision. “We are proud of their achievements, made possible in part through our financial assistance from MiSight® 1 day contact lens sales. We look forward to continuing to support the program as we all band together to help manage the myopia public health epidemic.”
CooperVision has contributed more than US$300,000 from its global MiSight® sales to Our Children’s Vision to date.

With an initial investment in 2013, Fonds de solidarité FTQ (the “Fonds”) reaffirms its confidence in the Company by investing an additional $40 million. The credit facility granted to New Look Vision is part of the Fonds’ plan to support Quebec businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Antoine Amiel, President and CEO of New Look Vision, stated: “Our rapid response to the crisis was centered primarily on the safety and well-being of our employees, associates and clients. This additional investment is part of the financial arrangements we made early in the crisis to ensure our financial autonomy and our ability to resume external growth as early as possible.”
“New Look is well positioned for economic recovery despite the many challenges caused by these exceptional circumstances. The credit facility granted by the Fund provides the Company with the necessary leeway to ensure its growth,” continued Daniel Hinse, Vice-President, Investments, Entertainment and Consumer Products of the Fonds.
New Look Vision showed its solidarity towards healthcare professionals during the coronavirus crisis by launching the “Guardian Angels” program, providing hospital personnel the opportunity to replace broken eyewear quickly. Several thousand pairs, mainly in the greater Montreal area, were distributed including safety glasses.
The gradual store reopening started on May 4 in line with local and professional regulations. Ahead of reopening stores, the Company issued stringent health and safety procedures, undertook extensive training in the form of in-store rehearsals and is providing each location with prescribed PPE.
