Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ: CERN), a global health care technology
company, announced today that Mark Erceg will join the company as
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO),

Procter & Gamble and spent more than 18 years in a variety of
finance, strategy and operational leadership roles. After leaving
P&G, Erceg had three successive CFO roles at Masonite
International Corporation, Canadian Pacific Railway and Tiffany
& Company, where he has developed deep functional expertise and
technical knowledge in all aspects of corporate finance. During his
career, he has demonstrated the ability to create shareholder value
at multi-billion-dollar organizations by leading operational
transformation initiatives across complex global businesses,
developing and executing strategic plans and negotiating and
integrating acquisitions. Erceg holds a Bachelor of Science in
Accounting, an MBA in Finance from Indiana University and is a
Chartered Financial Analyst.
“I am pleased to welcome Mark to Cerner’s executive team,” said
Brent Shafer, chairman and CEO, Cerner. “Mark’s diverse skill set
and deep experience in global and operational finance is an
excellent fit as Cerner continues to transform and innovate for
worldwide providers and health care systems. I am confident Mark
will provide strong leadership and be a terrific fit within
Cerner.”
As Cerner’s CFO, Erceg will lead the company’s global finance
organization, including accounting, treasury, financial planning
and analysis, tax and investor relations.
“I am thrilled to join Cerner and work towards the company’s
mission of transforming health care,” said Erceg. “Cerner is
well-positioned to deliver innovations that can improve patient
care, enhance health system operations and eliminate global
inequities in care. I look forward to helping drive the next wave
of growth and unlocking value for Cerner shareholders.”
Last October, Cerner announced that long-time CFO Marc Naughton
would leave the company after 30 years.
