Perrigo's CEO John Hendrickson said: "Following the departure of Judy Brown, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Ron Winowiecki as acting Chief Financial Officer. Ron has almost thirty years of accounting and finance experience, devoting nearly fifteen years to leading global public company finance organizations in the capacities of corporate controller, treasurer and chief accounting officer, including eight years at Perrigo, most recently as senior vice president, business finance.

“I am confident that this will be a seamless transition and that Ron will provide Perrigo and our financial team with strong leadership. I look forward to continuing to work alongside Ron."

Hendrickson added: "Judy's leadership has been instrumental in developing a high caliber finance team at Perrigo and assisted our efforts to drive growth across our global platform. On behalf of the board of directors and management, I would like to thank Judy for her contributions to Perrigo over her more than 15-year tenure with the company, and wish her all the best in her future endeavors."
