MELVILLE, N.Y. – Henry Schein expects to appoint its next CEO by mid-January 2026. The company says it has nearly completed the search process, but it will not be finalized before year-end. “We have evaluated a pool of highly qualified candidates, and the level of interest and caliber of talent have been exceptional,” said Philip A. Laskawy, lead director for Henry Schein. “We expect to make a final decision on a candidate and formal announcement regarding the appointment to the role by mid-January.” In the meantime, Henry Schein says Stanley Bergman will continue in his role of CEO and chairman at the request of the board of directors. In July, the company announced that Bergman would retire at the end of 2025 after 45 years at the company, including more than 35 years in the top role. “The board has engaged in a thoughtful and thorough search process,” Bergman said. “Until a successor CEO assumes the position, I look forward to working with the team to build on the continued momentum in the business and ensuring a smooth transition.”
