This experience will serve BD well as we advance our BD 2025 strategy and improve the speed and efficiency of our global supply chains."
Grover is replacing Alexandre Conroy, who will retire from BD at the end of the year after 31 years at the company in multiple leadership roles.
"I would like to thank Alex for his decades of leadership and dedication to BD, our customers and our teams," Polen continued. "He is a great example of how to build a successful career at BD, and we wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement."
