Premier, Inc. (NASDAQ: PINC), a leading technology-driven healthcare improvement company, today announced that it has named David (Dave) Zito as President, Performance Services, effective December 6, 2024.

Zito will oversee Premier’s Performance Services segment, including the continued development and growth of the company’s enterprise-wide, AI-enabled technology businesses and Premier’s consulting practice. He will report to Michael J. Alkire, Premier’s President and CEO.

Zito is a seasoned healthcare executive, with expertise across provider networks, payer systems, life sciences and healthcare managed services. He served as the Chief Growth Officer for Guidehouse, where he was responsible for leading investments in new markets and opportunities, developing innovative technology solutions and business process management, and driving large-scale, cross-segment collaboration. This included oversight of the Managed Services and Advanced Solutions business units, along with the Sales, Marketing and Employee Experience functions. Zito previously served as the Healthcare Practice lead at Navigant Consulting.

"After conducting a thorough and thoughtful search process, I am confident that Dave has the skills and background to drive continued growth in Premier’s Performance Services segment,” said Alkire. "Dave has an unparalleled ability to create strategic partnerships with health systems to deliver transformative solutions that result in clinical, operational and financial excellence. He is a proven leader with a record of building new business and opening markets, making him an ideal addition to our management team.”

"Premier’s world-class data assets, technology innovations and strong relationships that deliver improved cost and quality outcomes are second to none, and I am honored to lead the company’s Performance Services segment at such an exciting time for the company,” said Zito. "I look forward to working with Mike and the rest of the talented management team to enable better, smarter and faster healthcare.”

Premier Chief Operating Officer Leigh Anderson to Resign at Year-End
Premier also announced that Leigh Anderson, who currently serves as Chief Operating Officer, will resign from his position, effective December 31, 2024, and is expected to provide consulting services to the company through March 31, 2025. As a consultant, he will support the leadership transition for Performance Services, support Premier’s digital supply chain solutions and assist with other business needs, as requested.

Oversight of Premier’s technology and consulting services will transition from Anderson to Zito on December 6. Management of Premier’s group purchasing organization will remain with Premier’s Senior Vice President of Supply Chain, Bruce Radcliff, who will also report directly to Alkire, effective December 6.

"On behalf of all of us at Premier, I thank him for his years of service and his many contributions to the company’s success in serving our stakeholders.”

The company does not intend to fill the COO role.

"Premier’s new leadership structure – with Supply Chain Services led by Bruce Radcliff, Performance Services led by Dave Zito, and a unified commercial and sales division led by Andy Brailo – is the right team-based approach to drive further strategic alignment with our members, enhance the value we provide, improve operational efficiencies, and create a more consistent, One Premier experience,” concluded Alkire.
