Goldberg’s appointment comes as Ryan Weispfenning, who previously held that role, elected to join the company’s Diabetes business and lead the IR function for the unit as it continues to work toward a separation from Medtronic to become MiniMed.
Both changes went into effect today, Dec. 8, 2025. Medtronic said that Weispfenning will support Goldberg and Medtronic for a period of time to ensure a seamless transition.
Weispfenning has more than 25 years of experience at Medtronic, joining its IR team 17 years ago. He led the function at the medtech giant for more than a decade. The company said Weispfenning helped guide it through dynamic business environments while fostering strong relationships with analysts, investors and other global stakeholders.
According to Medtronic, Weispfenning will serve as a key strategic partner to the MiniMed executive team and board of directors. The company expects his experience and leadership to prove important as it works toward the separation of MiniMed.
“After leading Medtronic investor relations for the past decade, I am now honored to help establish the investor relations function for MiniMed as we prepare for its intended separation into an independent, public company,” said Weispfenning. “This is a pivotal moment for the Diabetes business, and I look forward to partnering with the MiniMed leadership team and engaging with the investor community to articulate our long-term strategy, growth opportunities, and commitment to improving outcomes for people living with diabetes worldwide.”
