ALLEGAN – The Perrigo Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of over-the-counter-drugs, has promoted its former controller to the post of executive vice president and chief financial officer.
Judy Brown succeeds Douglas Schrank, who retired June 30. Brown, who
joined Perrigo in September 2004, has overseen the various departments
within finance, including Investor Relations, Treasury and Tax. She also
helped lead the Company through the acquisition of Agis Industries, Ltd.
and its subsequent integration.
“We feel very fortunate to have Judy on our executive team,” said David
Gibbons, Perrigo Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “She
brings a unique combination of strong financial experience and global
business acumen. She will certainly continue Perrigo’s focus on enhancing
shareholder value and driving growth.”
A certified public accountant, Brown served in various management roles
at Whirlpool Corporation for six years, where her responsibilities ranged
from finance to operations at both the European and US corporate
headquarters. Prior to Whirlpool, she worked for nearly nine years at Ernst
& Young in both their US and German practices. Fluent in several languages,
Brown holds an MBA from the University of Chicago and a Bachelor of Science
in Accountancy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
