Neogen Corp. has appointed Bryan Riggsbee as its new chief financial officer (CFO) effective November 3.
Riggsbee will oversee Neogen’s global finance organization and join the company’s executive leadership team, reporting directly to CEO Mike Nassif. To ensure a smooth transition, David Naemura is expected to remain with the company until the end of the calendar year.
Riggsbee brings more than 25 years of financial leadership experience across the diagnostics and health care industries. He joins Neogen from bioMérieux where he served as CFO of its $2 billion North American business. Prior to that, Riggsbee spent nearly a decade as CFO at Myriad Genetics, where he led the company’s finance, accounting, and investor relations functions and played a key role in expanding the company’s portfolio and partnerships, as well as supporting growth into new international markets. Earlier in his career, he held senior finance roles at Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp), GE and KPMG.
“Bryan’s track record of driving disciplined growth and operational excellence across complex global organizations makes him a strong addition to our leadership team,” Nassif said. “His extensive diagnostics background and collaborative approach will be invaluable as we continue executing our strategy to strengthen performance and deliver sustainable growth.”
Riggsbee holds bachelor’s degrees in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and in accounting from North Carolina State University, as well as an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.
“Neogen’s focus on protecting the world’s food supply reflects a purpose that deeply resonates with me,” Riggsbee said. “I look forward to working with this exceptional team to advance our strategy, strengthen execution and deliver lasting value for our stakeholders.”
