Corporate Controller

In April 2025, Kandu Health and Neurolutions merged to form Kandu Inc. to pioneer an integrated approach to stroke recovery, combining FDA-cleared brain-computer interface technology with personalized telehealth services. The company’s IpsiHand® device is durable medical equipment that enables chronic stroke survivors to regain upper extremity function in daily home use. Combining this  advanced technology with the support of expert clinicians offers a comprehensive path to recovery– helping survivors improve mobility, independence, and quality of life. Kandu extends recovery beyond the hospital through principal illness navigation, providing one-on-one education, care coordination, and advocacy; grounded in clinical evidence and informed by the lived experiences of patients and their families.

The Controller will serve as a senior leader for the company, directing all financial operations and reporting.

The Controller reports to the CFO and is a key strategic partner to the executive team.
