An executive with a New York metallurgy firm, Sanova LLC, pleaded guilty yesterday to bribing an engineering director at Stryker to win a multi-million dollar contract, according to federal prosecutors.
Eugene Ostrovsky, vice president and partner at Sanova, admitted that he paid the roughly $70,000 in bribes to Daniel Lawrynowicz in 2012 and 2013 to help Sanova land a contract with Stryker’s Howmedica division in New Jersey, according to the U.S. District Attorney for New Jersey’s office.
Lawrynowicz’s LinkedIn page lists him as a 15-year Stryker employee who is senior director of advanced engineering, leading “a team of 41 engineers and scientists at the Mahwah, N.J. facility dedicated to supporting the Recon Business Units.”
