BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — February 12, 2026 — Rampart, a Birmingham, Alabama–based medical device company redefining interventional radiation safety, today announced that Rob Williamson has been appointed Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), effective March 1. Williamson previously served on Rampart’s Board of Directors.

Williamson brings more than 25 years of medical device leadership experience, including senior commercial roles at Medtronic, Covidien, ev3, FoxHollow, and Bard. Most recently, he served as Vice President of Sales at Shockwave Medical, where he built and led a 300+ person field organization and helped scale the company to more than $500 million in annual revenue.

As CRO, Williamson will lead Rampart’s U.S. Sales organization, focusing on revenue growth, field execution, and team expansion. Brian Chambless continues as Chief Commercial Officer, leading Rampart’s global commercial strategy.

“Rampart is entering an important stage of development as we see signs of change in the standard of care for radiation and orthopedic protection in the interventional suite,” said Tom Livingston, President and CEO. “We are investing intentionally in leadership and execution to accelerate adoption of our radiation safety platform. Rob’s experience scaling high-performing sales organizations in intense growth environments makes him the right leader for this next phase.”

“Serving on the Board gave me a front-row seat to the strength of Rampart’s team and the momentum building in the market,” said Williamson. “This is a company with a clear mission and a differentiated platform. I’m energized to lead the sales organization and help bring this solution to more healthcare teams across the country.”

Interventional specialists face some of the highest occupational radiation exposure levels in medicine.¹ Traditional 20–30-pound lead aprons, long used for protection, are associated with significant orthopedic injury.² ³

Rampart’s portfolio of radiation safety solutions delivers total body, total team protection for everyone in the interventional suite. Utilizing completely lead-free radiation-attenuating materials with 1mm lead equivalency, Rampart provides expansive shielding without compromising workflow. The company owns and manufactures its proprietary ClearShield attenuation material, maintaining supply chain control and enabling fully lead-free product solutions.

Rampart Systems are deployed in leading academic institutions as well as U.S. healthcare systems and distributed globally.

Founded in 2018, Rampart develops radiation-attenuating solutions designed to protect the entire procedural team and support safer, more sustainable careers in the interventional suite.
