Call it the Tom-Tom Transition 2.0.
For the second time this year, Agiliti has replaced its CEO. Former CEO Tom Leonard is returning to the role he held for nearly eight years, succeeding Tom Boehning, who is out after only seven months. The company did not provide a reason for Boehning's sudden departure.
Leonard was Agiliti's CEO from April 2015 until his retirement in March this year. He served as a member of the company’s Board of Directors after his retirement and will remain a board member as he returns to the role of CEO.
“Tom Leonard led the company through eight years of profitable growth and helped establish Agiliti as an essential partner to more than 10,000 healthcare provider organizations nationwide,” Agiliti Board Chairman John Workman said. “He is a trusted and proven leader, admired for his track record of results and his commitment to the company’s mission, culture and team. We are confident that Agiliti will benefit from his leadership.”
Before joining Agiliti, Leonard was president of the Medical Systems business segment at CareFusion, now Becton Dickinson. He also served as senior vice president and general manager of Ambulatory Solutions for McKesson Provider Technologies, and prior to that, executive vice president of Operations for Picis Inc.
Leonard earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the United States Naval Academy and an MBA from the S.C. Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University.
“I am honored to return to Agiliti and to rejoin this team as CEO,” Leonard stated. “Agiliti has long served a critical role in our nation’s healthcare system, powered by a differentiated offering that has proved essential to improving our customers’ clinical, operational, and financial outcomes. We will build on our strong foundation and capabilities as we chart our path forward.”
“During his initial tenure as CEO, Tom Leonard and his team oversaw the strategic and cultural transformation of the business, demonstrating its extraordinary runway for growth,” said Scott Sperling, Agiliti board member and co-CEO of Thomas H. Lee Partners, the company’s largest shareholder. “Under his leadership, we believe Agiliti will be well positioned to create meaningful value for customers and shareholders. With this transition, we thank Tom Boehning for his contributions to the business throughout his four years of service to Agiliti, and notably for his leadership and dedication to customers during the demanding years of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
