Cardinal Health has revealed a significant leadership shift, with Jason Hollar transitioning from Chief Financial Officer to Chief Executive Officer starting September 1, 2022. The healthcare services company’s Board of Directors formalized this appointment, establishing Hollar as the successor to outgoing CEO Mike Kaufmann.

Hollar brings substantial experience across finance and operations to the helm. Since May 2020, he has served as Cardinal Health’s Chief Financial Officer, overseeing the company’s financial strategy during a pivotal period for healthcare services. His track record extends beyond Cardinal Health—Hollar previously held CFO roles at Tenneco and Sears Holdings Corp, where he also served as Senior Vice President of finance, demonstrating a career-long focus on fiscal management and operational excellence.

The transition takes shape in two phases. Hollar will join Cardinal Health’s Board of Directors effective August 11, 2022, providing a transition period before officially assuming the CEO position. To ensure continuity, Patricia English, currently serving as Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President, will step in as interim Chief Financial Officer. English’s background in both the pharmaceutical and medical segments positions her well to bridge operations while the company conducts its permanent CFO search.

The Board has committed to engaging an executive search firm to identify suitable candidates for the permanent Chief Financial Officer position. This methodical approach reflects the company’s focus on maintaining operational stability while integrating Jason Hollar into his new executive role.
