Avantor’s CFO to Step Down

Avantor, a provider of products and services to the life sciences, advanced technologies, and applied materials industries, announced that executive VP and chief financial officer (CFO) Thomas A. Szlozek is leaving the company effective August 2 to pursue an opportunity outside the life sciences industry.
 
Szlozek will stay in his role through announcement of the company’s Q2 earnings, and Avantor has begun the search to identify its next CFO.
 
“On behalf of the entire Avantor team, I thank Tom for all of his contributions. He has been a great partner as we took Avantor public in 2019, expanded the global enterprise, and built a resilient foundation to drive growth in our core business,” Michael Stubblefield, Avantor president and CEO told the press. “We appreciate Tom’s dedication to Avantor and his continued support to ensure a smooth transition.”
 
Szlosek said, “It has been a privilege working alongside such an exceptional team. With a strong foundation in place and Avantor well positioned to continue capitalizing on fundamental growth drivers and executing on its long-term strategy, I felt now was the right time to take on a new opportunity.”
