LONDON (Alliance News) - Al Noor Hospitals Group PLC said Wednesday that Chief Executive Officer and founder Dr Kassem Alom will be stepping down, effective October 1, 2014.
The private hospital group said that, in line with its succession plan, it has appointed Ronald Lavater as CEO with effect of the same date. He joins the company from healthcare firm Johns Hopkins Medicine International where he is currently serving as senior executive for the Middle East region.
Upon stepping down from his position as CEO, Alom - who founded Al Noor in 1985 - will also vacate his role as executive director, said the company. As of October 1 he will be appointed non-executive deputy chairman of Al Noor Hospitals Group, initially to ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities to the new CEO, and then to provide support to the company as needed.
Alom said of the appointment, "We set a very high bar when we embarked on the search for my successor, and I am confident that Ronald has the right experience, energy, and character to take Al Noor through the next phase of growth."
