CEO to retire by end of 2017
EMIS Group plc ("EMIS" or "the Group"), the UK leader in
connected healthcare software and services, today announces that
Chris Spencer, the Group's Chief Executive since 2013, having
reached the age of 60, has indicated his intention to retire from
his position and from the Board by the end of 2017. A formal search
has therefore begun to identify a successor. Updates on this
process will be announced when appropriate.
Chris has been a pivotal member of EMIS's leadership team, and a
major contributor at both a strategic and operational level, ever
since he joined the Group in 1999. He served as EMIS's Chief
Administrative Officer, including roles as Group Counsel and
Company Secretary prior to being appointed Chief Executive.
Mike O'Leary, Chairman of EMIS Group, said:
"Chris has given outstanding service to EMIS for over seventeen
years, including as Chief Executive since 2013, and we respect his
decision to put a timeframe around his well-earned retirement,
while ensuring a smooth handover and allowing the Board ample time
to find a successor of the highest calibre."
Appointment of new non-executive director
In an unrelated development the Group also announces the
appointment of David Sides as an additional independent
non-executive director with effect from 1 January 2017.
David brings extensive experience of the healthcare industry
gained on a global basis. He spent 17 years at Cerner Corporation
during which time he covered a range of roles including Senior Vice
President (Worldwide Consulting) and four years as Managing
Director of the UK and Ireland business, based in London. He is
currently President and CEO of Streamline Health Solutions, a
provider of transformational data-driven solutions to healthcare
providers, and before that was CEO of IMDsoft. David is based in
Atlanta, Georgia.
Mike O'Leary, Chairman of EMIS Group, said:
"We are delighted to welcome David to the Board, where his broad
experience of the healthcare technology sector will strengthen the
Board's existing skillsets."
