Covetrus, a global leader in animal-health technology and services, announced that Stuart B. Gleichenhaus has been named interim chief financial officer, effective December 16, 2019. The company also announced that Dustin Finer has been promoted to chief administrative officer.
Effective December 16, 2019, Christine T. Komola will depart as the company’s executive vice president and chief financial officer. Komola will shift into an advisory role for a period of one month to ensure a smooth transition during the company’s year-end closing process.
Gleichenhaus is an accomplished executive with nearly 40 years of operational and financial experience in over a dozen publicly-traded and private equity-owned companies, including a number of global carve-out transactions, across multiple industries.
Finer joined Covetrus earlier this fall as chief people officer following a successful career over the last two decades in multiple roles in human resources, administration and internal operations at Tivo, Rovi and MySpace. In his expanded role, Finer will now also oversee information technology and legal operations in addition to leading all aspects of global human resources for the company.
Covetrus has retained an executive search firm and has commenced a formal search for a permanent chief financial officer. Covetrus also reaffirmed its 2019 financial guidance that was provided on November 12, 2019.
