Spectrum Solutions has appointed Bill Phillips as the company’s new CEO, replacing Stephen J. Fanning, who served as its CEO for over four years.
Phillips was a founder of Spectrum Solutions, and before his promotion to CEO was the company’s chief operating officer. He was named a 2020 Utah Business Healthcare Hero and was the recipient of BioUtah’s 2020 Life Science Innovation Impact Award.
His leadership within the company brought about the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized, saliva-based diagnostic test for COVID-19 in 2020, an alternative to the painful swab-based testing.
“Bill Phillips’ promotion to CEO is well deserved and exciting for the future of Spectrum’s growth. Bill has worked tirelessly from the beginning to make Spectrum a customer-centric business and a great place for employees to come to work every day,” said departing CEO Fanning. “It has been my privilege to work with such a great team of highly talented people, and it has been a highlight of my career.”
