QuidelOrtho said Thursday that Brian Blaser has been appointed as its next chief executive.
The in-vitro diagnostic technologies provider said Blaser, who was also appointed president, will begin effective May 6. He will also join the board effective May 15.
Blaser most recently served as executive vice president, diagnostic products of Abbott Laboratories.
In February the comapny terminated former CEO Douglas Bryant from his role and formed an office of the chief executive to ensure business continuity. This was led by Chief Commercial Officer Michael Iskra, Chief Operating Officer Robert Bujarski and Chief Financial Officer Joseph Busky. It named Iskra as interim CEO and Bujarski as interim president, in addition to their current roles.
While Blaser's compensation wasn't disclosed, past filings show Bryant earned about $6.8 million in 2023 while Iskra earned about $3.3 million during the same period.
