Craig McKasson to Retire at the End of December 2024

Premier, Inc. (NASDAQ: PINC), a leading technology-driven healthcare improvement company, today announced that Glenn Coleman, CPA, was unanimously appointed by the Board of Directors to serve as the Chief Administrative and Financial Officer of the company, effective November 11, 2024. Coleman will succeed Craig McKasson, who will retire on December 31, 2024, and will serve as a strategic advisor to the company through 2026.

Coleman brings more than three decades of financial and industry expertise, as well as extensive experience managing public company financial planning, reporting and operations. He currently serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Dentsply Sirona, where he leads the company’s finance and information technology divisions. Coleman previously held roles at Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, including as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, leading operations and overseeing the majority of Integra’s talent force, and as Chief Financial Officer, overseeing the broader finance department. Prior to Integra, Coleman spent 25 years in financial management positions with leading global businesses, including Curtiss-Wright Corporation and Alcatel-Lucent. He began his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

“After conducting a thorough and thoughtful search process, the Board and I are confident that Glenn is the right person to build on our momentum and lead our organization forward as we begin our next chapter at Premier,” said Michael J. Alkire, Premier’s President and CEO. “I am confident that Premier and our shareholders will benefit from Glenn’s wealth of financial and operational management experience at public companies, and I look forward to working closely with him as we continue enabling better, smarter healthcare for our members, suppliers, customers and the communities they serve.”

Alkire added, “Craig has been an outstanding steward of Premier’s administrative and financial operations, serving as a critical member of our executive leadership team. Since he joined the company in 1997, Premier has evolved from a hospital buying group into an integral player in the U.S. healthcare system – and Craig has been a key leader at every step of that journey. On behalf of all of us at Premier, I thank him for his many contributions and deep commitment to our members, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders, which have helped to make Premier an industry leader.”

“It has been the greatest privilege of my career to serve as Premier’s Chief Administrative and Financial Officer, leading our talented finance, corporate development, information technology and insurance services teams,” said McKasson. “I am proud that Premier today is positioned to win, with the right capabilities and strategy in place to drive sustainable value creation for our stakeholders. The strength of our business reinforces my confidence that this is the right time to make this transition. I look forward to spending more time with my family in my retirement and continuing to follow Premier’s future success.”

“I have long admired Premier for its technology innovations and commitment to improving healthcare cost and quality outcomes, and I am honored to be stepping into the role of Chief Administrative and Financial Officer at such an exciting time for the company,” said Coleman. “I look forward to working with Mike and the rest of the talented management team to drive financial excellence, enhance value for shareholders and support Premier’s mission of transforming healthcare.”
