Cardinal Health’s board of directors welcomes member

Cardinal Health’s board of directors has elected David Evans as an independent director, effective July 1.

Most recently, Evans served as the interim chief financial officer for Cardinal Health, approximately nine months.

He previously held the role of chief financial officer for the Battelle Memorial Institute, one of the largest private, non-profit research organizations in the world.

Prior to that, Evans served as executive vice president and chief financial officer of The Scotts MiracleGro Company.

Evans serves on the board of directors for Scotts MiracleGro and is a member of both the audit committee and the compensation and organization committee. He also serves on the board of directors for the Siegel Rare Neuroimmune Association and formerly served as a board member on the finance and audit committee for Ohio Health.

“We are pleased to welcome Dave as a director,” Gregory Kenny, chairman of the board for Cardinal Health said. “The Board has been impressed by both his operational instincts and his financial acumen. Dave sees both the big picture, as well as the value drivers, while never losing sight of our mission — being essential to care. We look forward to benefitting from his history as a strong and independent-minded leader as we continue to navigate this time of immense change and adapt our growth strategies for the future.”
