GE HealthCare Appoints William Grogan as Chief Financial Officer
GE HealthCare has announced the appointment of William (Bill) Grogan as Chief Financial Officer, effective September 14, 2026. Grogan succeeds Jay Saccaro, who, as previously announced, stepped down for an expanded role outside of the medical technology industry. George Newcomb, who is serving as interim Chief Financial Officer, will continue in his role as Controller and Chief Accounting Officer.
Grogan joins GE HealthCare from Xylem Inc., a leading global water solutions company with approximately $9 billion in revenue, where he has served as executive vice president and chief financial officer since 2023. At Xylem, he partnered with the leadership team to execute a strategy to outpace market growth, significantly expanded margins, and simplified operations to fund investment in innovation and higher-growth digital and services offerings. Under his financial leadership, Xylem successfully integrated a $7.5 billion acquisition, delivering cost synergies well ahead of schedule, drove portfolio optimization, and strengthened capital deployment across the business.
Prior to Xylem, Grogan spent more than a decade at IDEX Corporation, a diversified global engineered products company delivering mission-critical solutions, including serving as senior vice president and chief financial officer from 2017 to 2023. As CFO, he helped reposition IDEX’s portfolio toward higher-growth markets, a strategy that supported a more than doubling of the company’s market capitalization, while delivering consistent margin expansion and disciplined capital deployment. Earlier in his career, Grogan held finance leadership positions at Walgreens, Crane Co., and Sears Holdings Corp.
“I am excited that Bill will serve as our CFO and help lead our next chapter of growth,” said Peter Arduini, President and CEO, GE HealthCare. “He combines strong financial leadership with an operator’s mindset, grounded in lean business systems and a clear focus on execution. Bill’s capabilities will augment our strong leadership team as we advance our precision care strategy and create long-term value for our colleagues, patients, customers, and shareholders.”
“GE HealthCare’s purpose of creating a world where healthcare has no limits, its commitment to patients, and the opportunity created by this new wave of innovation drew me to the company,” said Grogan. “I am excited to partner with Peter and the leadership team, spend time with our customers, and lead a finance organization that helps turn innovation into profitable growth and long-term value creation.”
Grogan serves on the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of Crane NXT and on the Advisory Council for the Girard School of Business at Merrimack College. He holds a Master of Business Administration from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and a bachelor’s degree in finance from Merrimack College.
