Henry Schein COO, CSO, Supply Chain Head Shift to Advisory Roles in Slimdown
HSIC sits 38% above its 52-week low of $61.945.
Summary
Henry Schein is removing three senior executives from their operational roles: COO Michael Ettinger, CSO Mark Mlotek, and SVP of Global Supply Chain James Mullins will transition to senior advisory positions effective October 30. The company is also merging its global supply-chain organization into its global distribution group, aiming to simplify the operating model and speed up decision-making. This follows the July 30 8-K announcing a broader leadership restructuring and creation of a new Henry Schein Leadership Team. The moves suggest a significant streamlining effort, though the financial impact is unclear. Ettinger and Mlotek, both with the company since 1994, will receive severance benefits.
