GE HealthCare CFO Plans Departure, Interim Named
GE HealthCare announced that CFO Jay Saccaro will resign on August 14, 2026 to pursue a role outside the medical technology industry, with George Newcomb stepping in as interim CFO while remaining Controller and Chief Accounting Officer. The company started a search for a permanent successor. Newcomb has long been with GE HealthCare, having served as its Controller since 2016 and CAO since the 2023 spin-off from GE. In conjunction with the leadership transition, GE HealthCare reported preliminary second-quarter 2026 results showing revenue growth and momentum, with expectations for year-over-year revenue growth around 5.7% and the diluted and adjusted earnings per share ahead of prior forecasts, and the company reaffirmed its guidance. Both Saccaro and CEO Peter Arduini expressed gratitude for contributions and confidence in the company’s capital allocation and future prospects. The coordinated press coverage confirms the CFO transition and the ongoing momentum behind GE HealthCare’s financial trajectory.
