Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

GE HealthCare appointed William K. Grogan, currently executive vice president and CFO of Xylem Inc., as Chief Financial Officer effective September 14, 2026, succeeding interim CFO George Newcomb, who will remain Controller and Chief Accounting Officer. The filing sets out his pay package, including a $900,000 base salary, a 100% target bonus, and sign-on awards to offset compensation forfeited at Xylem, which matters to shareholders as it defines the company's new top finance executive and its compensation commitments.

Key points

  • Grogan, age 48, has been Xylem's EVP and CFO since October 2023 and was IDEX Corporation's CFO from January 2017 to September 2023.
  • Offer letter: $900,000 base salary, target annual bonus of 100% of salary, and a 2026 annual LTI award with a $3,300,000 target grant date value.
  • Sign-on payments include $550,000 in cash and a $4,000,000 RSU award, with cash repayment required if he resigns within two years.
  • Newcomb ceases as interim CFO on September 14, 2026, and continues as Controller and Chief Accounting Officer.
