Keith Byers Is JRF’s New President

Centennial, Colorado-based supplier of innovative allograft joint repair solutions has a new president and executive director—and it is Keith Byers, who had previously served as JRF Ortho’s director of marketing and distribution.

Before joining JRF Ortho 13 years ago, Byers worked for nearby AlloSource and Donor Alliance—one of the largest and most respected allograft processors in the United States.

Mr. Byers earned a B.B.A. in Business and Marketing from Southern Adventist University in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He is grateful for the opportunity to lead JRF Otho through continued positive momentum, finding new ways to innovate and grow.

“My passion is helping people and JRF Ortho is well-known and respected within the tissue banking and sports medicine communities for doing just that,” said Byers, “Even before joining JRF Ortho, I admired the positive impact of the work they do to help surgeons get their patients moving again, so it is an honor to be selected to lead this outstanding team. I’m really excited about this next step and look forward to guiding the organization in reaching its goals.”

Diane Wilson, JRF Ortho chairman, says she and the rest of the Board of Directors are delighted to have Keith as its next president and executive director. “Keith brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience. He was chosen because of his industry experience, surgical knowledge, and leadership reputation.”

“The search committee felt he was the right person to continue the forward momentum JRF Ortho has experienced over the past several years and strategically move the organization into the future. We are confident Keith will ensure JRF Ortho enjoys continued success as the leader in fresh allografts and that it continues to honor its mission to help people improve their quality of life.”
