Athenahealth Names Former CVS Executive Tom Cowhey as New CFO
Athenahealth, a leading health IT firm and electronic health record vendor, announced the appointment of Tom Cowhey as its new Chief Financial Officer. Cowhey, who previously held the position of Executive Vice President and CFO at CVS Health, will assume his new role on June 9th.
The appointment comes after the departure of John Hofmann, Athenahealth’s previous CFO, who stepped down late last year. The company has been operating with an interim finance chief while searching for a permanent successor. Cowhey’s extensive experience in the healthcare industry, including his time at CVS and ambulatory surgical care firm Surgery Partners, makes him a valuable addition to Athenahealth’s leadership team.
Prior to joining Athenahealth, Cowhey played a key role in CVS’s financial operations, overseeing the company’s financial strategy during a challenging period. Despite facing financial difficulties, CVS reported a significant increase in net profit in the first quarter of this year, showcasing Cowhey’s financial acumen and leadership skills.
Cowhey’s appointment marks a new chapter for Athenahealth as the company continues to innovate and drive growth in the healthcare IT sector. His experience and expertise will be instrumental in guiding the company through its next phase of development.
We look forward to seeing the impact that Tom Cowhey will have as CFO of Athenahealth and the contributions he will make to the company’s continued success.
