Joanne Bauer, president of Kimberly-Clark’s Roswell-based health care business, has been named to Omnicell Inc.’s board of directors, the business analytics software provider said Tuesday.
Bauer will serve on the board’s corporate governance committee, Mountain View, Calif.-based Omnicell said.
Omnicell Chief Executive Officer Randy Lipps said Bauer was selected because of her “extensive experience and acumen with lean management principles, mergers and acquisitions, and in navigating the health care industry’s regulatory process.”
Kimberly-Clark, a global consumer products company, announced last month that it was spinning off its health care business next year. The move will create a publicly traded stand-alone company with $1.6 billion in sales.
The approximately 1,200 workers at the Roswell campus on Holcomb Bridge Road produce surgical and infection-prevention products, and medical devices.
The company said Bauer would continue to be based in Roswell as president of global health care if the spinoff ultimately occurs by the end of the third quarter 2014. Bauer joined the company in 1981.
After the spinoff, Kimberly-Clark will focus on its consumer products, which include Kleenex and Scott tissue brands and Huggies, Pull-Ups and Depend disposable adult undergarments.
