On April 26, 2024, West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (?West?) announced an update to the role of Bernard Birkett, Chief Financial and Operations Officer. Since May 2022, Mr. Birkett served as both the Principal Financial and Principal Operating Officer. Mr. Birkett?s leadership while in this combined role has greatly enhanced the operations capabilities of both the Proprietary Products and Contract Manufacturing Business Segments.

This now allows company to transfer much of the operational leadership and decision-making to each of the Business Segments to further improve the efficiency. Effective May 1, 2024, Mr. Birkett?s title will be solely Chief Financial Officer (?CFO?), where he will retain financial oversight for both Business Segments, operational oversight of the strategic sourcing function and be involved in key operational issues together with other members of the executive team. However, company will no longer have a single principal operating officer.
