More changes at Hologic as it axes administrative chief Casey | Personnel Moves

Hologic (NSDQ:HOLX) said it fired its chief admin officer, Mark Casey, who also served and general counsel and secretary, effective Dec. 19.

The Bedford, Mass.-based women’s health company said Casey agreed to resign at its request but did not elaborate on the reasons for the ouster.

Hologic has shuffled its executive deck since bringing former Stryker (NYSE:SYK) CEO Steve MacMillan into the corner office last year. In March, Hologic announced the retirement of CFO Glenn Muir, who also served as finance & administration executive vice president, assistant treasurer and assistant secretary. Muir was with Hologic since 1988 and became CFO in 1992. 

Also in March, Hologic welcomed new COO Eric Compton, formerly worldwide president of ortho clinical diagnostics at Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), and shifted some seats among its SVPs, moving David Harding from group senior vice president and general manager of women’s health to senior vice president of global strategy. The company also hired Claus Egstrand as its new senior vice president and international general manager.

In May, the company tapped another former J&J exec, naming Robert McMahon as CFO. And in September, Hologic ousted the president of its diagnostics division, Rohan Hastie.
