AMN Healthcare announced Cary Grace as the company's next chief executive officer to succeed Susan Salka, who announced her retirement earlier this year. Grace's proven track record of leading dynamic, client-centric businesses positions her to lead AMN into the new environment of post-pandemic healthcare. She is the former CEO of Global Retirement, Investment and Human Capital at Aon, a $2 billion annual revenue business that provides risk management, retirement, health and human capital consulting services with more than 10,000 employees serving 10,000 clients.

In addition, she led their enterprise client management and oversaw the integration of all acquisitions for the company. Prior to joining Aon in 2011, she spent more than 14 years at Bank of America, where she led several institutional and private banking businesses, including their $9 billion Mass Affluent Client Business. Her leadership extends to holding both corporate and nonprofit board positions, including State Farm and the Rush University Medical Center Board of Trustees.

Grace is a passionate advocate for Environmental, Social and Governance issues, causes closely tied to AMN's purpose and values. She has been a prominent voice for diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace and the community, launching programs to support both mentorship and sponsorship at Aon as well as serving on the board for The Chicago Network and the CEO Advisory Council of the Diversity Project North America. Grace will be relocating to Dallas with her husband when she begins her role.

Susan Salka will stay on as AMN's CEO until Grace assumes the role on Nov. 28, 2022. After 32 years with AMN, including more than 17 at the helm as CEO, Salka announced in March that she decided to retire from the company to fully embrace pursuing her personal goals and passions.

Salka joined AMN in 1990 shortly after the Company's founding and filled a full range of key positions, including chief operating officer, chief financial officer, executive vice president and vice president of business development. She was named president and a member of the board of AMN in 2003 and became CEO in 2005. AMN delivers more than $4 billion in annualized revenue and has an enterprise value of approximately $6 billion.
