NSF, a global public health organization headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has named Sean Etheridge as chief legal officer.
Etheridge, who has nearly two decades of legal experience, joins NSF from the Fortune 250 medical technology company Stryker Corp., where he has been vice president and corporate secretary since 2020.
Prior to Stryker, Etheridge was a partner at Ann Arbor-based Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn, a senior associate at Shefsky & Froelich in Chicago and an associate at Morrison & Foerster in San Diego.
NSF launched in 1944 as National Sanitation Foundation to help standardize sanitation and food safety. At the time, the United States had no national sanitation standards. The organization changed its name to NSF in 1990 when it became a global public health and safety organization and expanded beyond sanitation.
Today, NSF has more than 2,500 employees—from microbiologists to chemists—who help with standards development, product certification and testing and work with companies in more than 170 countries.
In a statement, NSF CEO Pedro Sancha said he's confident Etheridge "will succeed in elevating our operations to further our mission to protect and improve human health worldwide."
