Cerner President Devanny resigns; Patterson takes his role
Cerner Corp. President Trace Devanny has resigned and will serve his last day with the company on Friday.
He said in a written statement that he and his family spent much time considering the decision to “pursue other business opportunities.” Cerner Chairman and CEO Neal Patterson will take on Devanny’s responsibilities.
Devanny has been a longtime executive with Cerner (Nasdaq: CERN), starting in 1994 and rising to president five years later. He’s been known for pushing Cerner to expand globally, bringing foreign revenue from $24 million to $273 million during his presidency.
“I have a deep sense of satisfaction in the role I have played in Cerner’s growth over the past decade,” Devanny said in a Tuesday release payday loan. “I am thankful for the opportunity to have worked with so many incredible people and to have shared in the pursuit of a higher standard of healthcare worldwide. In every part of the world, improving healthcare cost and quality are vital concerns, and Cerner is well positioned to continue its advance as a multinational healthcare company, as well as take advantage of near-term opportunities provided by stimulus funding in the U.S.”
North Kansas City-based Cerner offers health care information technology.
