FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J. - Medical-device maker Becton Dickinson and Co. said Wednesday it named a new chief financial officer and president.
David V. Elkins will succeed John R. Considine, who announced his intent to retire earlier this year. Considine, 57, will remain vice chairman until 2010.
Elkins, 40, joins the company from AstraZeneca Plc, where he has been chief financial officer of North America and global marketing. His appointment is effective Dec. 1.
Becton Dickinson said Vincent A. Forlenza will become president in January. He is taking over that responsibility from Edward J. Ludwig, who will remain chairman and chief executive.
Forlenza, 55, has been with Becton Dickinson since 1980. He most recently was responsible for leading its BD Diagnostics unit, which makes medical-diagnostic products.
