Owens & Minor Appoints Jim Marshall as Chief Executive Officer

RICHMOND, Virginia—Owens & Minor, a global healthcare solutions company providing products, services and technology solutions that support care delivery in leading hospitals, health systems and research centers around the world, named Jim Marshall as the company’s chief executive officer (CEO), effective immediately.

Owens & Minor said over the past two decades, Marshall has guided multi-billion-dollar portfolios through strategic transformations, including scaling businesses, modernizing operating models and building high-performing teams to deliver sustained performance. Most recently, he served as senior vice president of Health Systems at McKesson where he built a collaborative culture that drove double-digit growth across revenue, profitability and market share. Prior to that, Marshall spearheaded McKesson’s U.S. Pharma operations division as vice president and general manager, driving an operating environment transformation that significantly improved the company’s market position.

“I am honored to lead an organization that recognizes that the heart and soul of the healthcare supply chain are the people who make it possible—the customers we serve, and the teammates whose passion and purpose make Owens & Minor truly unique,” said Marshall. “This is a pivotal moment in our journey to reimagine Owens & Minor’s 140+ year legacy, and I am excited to continue advancing the transformation that’s already having a meaningful impact for our teammates and customers.”  

“With Jim’s dedicated leadership, commitment to fostering a culture of high-performance and talent for helping teams achieve their best, I could not be more confident that we have all the elements in place to compete and win,” said Christian Cook, board chairman, Owens & Minor and managing director at Platinum Equity. “We look forward to working with Jim and the executive leadership team as we continue to support and empower Owens & Minor’s success in this next chapter.”

On Dec. 31, 2025, Owens & Minor announced a new chapter: the medical distribution, products and technology services business, formerly referred to as Products & Healthcare Services (P&HS), is now part of the Platinum Equity portfolio. The company continues to operate as a private, standalone company under the Owens & Minor name.
