Owens & Minor, a global healthcare solutions company providing essential products, services, and technology solutions to hospitals, health systems, and research centers worldwide, announced the appointment of Jim Marshall as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.
Marshall brings more than two decades of healthcare supply chain leadership experience and a track record of leading strategic transformations across multi-billion dollar business portfolios. Throughout his career, he has focused on scaling operations, modernizing business models, and developing high-performing teams that drive sustainable growth and operational excellence.
Most recently, Marshall served as Senior Vice President of Health Systems at McKesson, where he helped build a collaborative, high-performance culture that delivered double-digit growth in revenue, profitability, and market share. Before that role, he led McKesson’s U.S. Pharma operations division as Vice President and General Manager, overseeing a transformation of the operating environment that strengthened the business’s competitive position.
Marshall assumes leadership as Owens & Minor continues its transformation following a significant corporate milestone. On December 31, 2025, the company announced that its medical distribution, products, and technology services business, formerly known as Products & Healthcare Services (P&HS), became part of the Platinum Equity portfolio. Owens & Minor continues to operate as a private standalone company, maintaining its longstanding focus on serving healthcare providers around the world.
Founded more than 140 years ago, Owens & Minor supports healthcare delivery through a broad portfolio of products, services, and technology solutions. The company employs more than 14,000 teammates globally and serves hospitals, healthcare partners, and communities across multiple markets.
