Business Wire
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today announced that Mike
McMullen, president and chief operating officer of the company, has
been elected chief executive officer by its board of directors,
effective immediately. His appointment is part of Agilent’s
previously announced CEO transition plan. McMullen succeeds William
(Bill) Sullivan, who becomes a company advisor until he retires on
Oct. 31, 2015.
“Bill Sullivan has been an extraordinary CEO over the past
decade,” said James G. Cullen, chairman of Agilent’s board of
directors. “Under his leadership, the company has been transformed
from a diversified technology company to a highly focused leader in
life sciences, diagnostics and applied markets.”
McMullen, 53, is Agilent’s third president and CEO since the
company spun off from Hewlett-Packard Co. in 1999. He has more than
30 years with Agilent and Hewlett-Packard.
“Mike McMullen has already created strong momentum in taking the
company forward,” Cullen said. “Since being named CEO-elect six
months ago, he has built a new organizational structure and created
compelling strategies that will create growth and value for our
shareholders.”
“I am very excited about Agilent’s future and about leading
Agilent’s exceptional team of employees,” said McMullen. “We are
well positioned to capture new opportunities in our life sciences
and diagnostics markets, and we have already made excellent
progress in serving our customers in a more comprehensive, cohesive
way through the recent launch of our Agilent CrossLab Group.”
“It is an honor to lead this amazing company as we help our
customers develop solutions for some of the world’s most important
challenges of the future,” he said.
McMullen joined Hewlett-Packard Co. in 1984 as a financial
analyst in the Analytical Products Group. Since then he has served
in various senior management positions. As president of Agilent’s
Chemical Analysis Group from 2009 until 2014, he was responsible
for companywide organizations in the chemical and energy, food and
environmental markets, as well as the services and consumables
business for the Chemical Analysis and Life Sciences groups.
He was appointed president, chief operating officer and
CEO-elect in September 2014. In that role, he has been responsible
for overseeing the company’s three businesses (Life Sciences and
Applied Markets Group, Agilent CrossLab Group, and Diagnostics and
Genomics Group); Order Fulfillment; and the global organization
that houses IT, workplace services, global sourcing and
logistics.
