For the past four years, Minnock was VP of operations for the Cardiac Ablation Solutions business that develops technology to treat atrial fibrillation (AF or AFib). Cardiac ablation has been a standout performer for Medtronic, with strong commercial demand for the Affera Sphere-9 pulsed-field ablation (PFA) catheter. The Affera system won an expanded indication for ventricular tachycardia (VT) and premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) in the EU last month.
As PFA helps drive double-digit revenue growth for Medtronic, the Minnesota-run medtech giant has been committed to reinvesting in high-growth platforms such as Affera.

“As I embark on my new role I’m especially grateful to the talented CAS team and our broader partners for their collaboration, commitment, and support. It has been a privilege to be part of such a strong team, and I’m proud of what we accomplished together,” Minnock said in his LinkedIn post: “I look forward to partnering with our talented contract manufacturing team and external partners as we continue to drive growth, resilience, and value for patients.”
