Ansell Ltd. has engaged an "international search firm" to aid in the hiring of a new chief financial officer, as the company's current CFO, Zubair Javeed, plans to resign.
Javeed gave notice of his intent to resign from his position starting in the second quarter of 2025, Ansell said in an Oct. 14 news release. The company did not disclose Javeed's reasoning for his planned resignation.
Javeed, based in the company's Brussels office, has served in his current role for five years, having been appointed in April 2019, according to Ansell. He brought with him more than 25 years of experience in finance and IT, working for a variety of industrial and health care companies, including National Health Service (NHS), Arthur Anderson, CR Bard Inc., Creganna Medical, Saolta University Hospital Group and Ideal Standard.
"Zubair has been instrumental in positioning Ansell on a path for sustained profitable growth," Ansell CEO Neil Salmon said in a statement. "He has played a key leadership role in driving supply chain improvements, our productivity program and, most recently, the successful acquisition and integration of the Kimberly-Clark PPE business, and I am confident we will see continued success from these and other initiatives."
Earlier this year, Ansell acquired KCPPE for $640 million, strengthening its position in PPE solutions.
"I am very grateful for Zubair's significant contribution to Ansell, and I know he will continue to play a key role in driving us forward during his remaining time at Ansell," Salmon said.
Ansell said Javeed will remain in his role as the company searches for his replacement "to ensure a seamless and efficient transition."
