In this role, you will transition your responsibilities as President to the CEO and as the Chief Operating Officer to the new leadership team responsible for the businesses and teams you currently lead, provide support to new leadership with strategic decisions, and provide other leadership and support as requested by Stryker for other matters prior to your retirement. Your retirement date will be March 31, 2023 (“Retirement Date”). The terms of your compensation and benefits will remain the same as is currently in effect through the Retirement Date:
