A dental implant manufacturer is suing its late CEO’s widow, claiming her husband, who died last spring at the age of 44, hid his cancer diagnosis from higher-ups, leaving the company unable to train a replacement in time.
That’s according to a lawsuit obtained by The Daily Beast, which accuses Liran Hagbi, the former chief executive of Noris Medical, of having misled the company’s chairman regarding his condition.
“Towards the end of 2021, Zvika Genis, the controlling shareholder and Chairman of Noris Medical, noticed that Mr. Hagbi was not adequately performing his duties and appeared to be sluggish and inattentive,” states the civil suit, which was filed Thursday in New York State Supreme Court. “On several occasions, Mr. Genis asked Mr. Hagbi if he was ill or if there was anything affecting his ability to perform his duties. Mr. Hagbi responded to each inquiry that he was not ill.”
