Masimo CEO Joe Kiani has resigned after being removed from the company's board by shareholders following a proxy battle with hedge fund Politan Capital Management. Kiani had previously clashed with Apple over a patent dispute related to the Apple Watch blood oxygen sensor. The Apple Watch Series 9 and newer have the sensor deactivated due to the dispute. With Kiani's removal, there is potential for a settlement between Masimo and Apple. However, it is unclear whether Apple will take a different approach now that Kiani is gone. Kiani had previously stated he would accept a settlement if Apple made a call.
