FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J. (Mar 11, 2024) - BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today announced that Rian Seger has been named president of the BD Surgery business unit, effective April 1.

Seger will be responsible for driving the global strategic, operational and commercial performance of BD Surgery and will report to Rick Byrd, executive vice president and president of the Interventional segment. Seger currently serves as vice president and general manager of the Medication Delivery Solutions (MDS) business unit within the BD Medical Segment. Seger replaces Brooke Story who has made the difficult decision to step away from her role as president to dedicate her focus to an ill family member.

"Rian has more than 20 years of executive experience with proven leadership capabilities that help address unmet needs in health care," said Byrd. "Re-joining BD Surgery strongly aligns with Rian's passion for driving better outcomes for surgeons and patients. With his wealth of experience and a proven track record of delivering results and developing teams, he will be well-suited to lead BD Surgery into its next phase of continued growth. We would like to thank Brooke for her leadership at both BD Integrated Diagnostic Solutions and BD Surgery, and we look forward to her return to BD when circumstances allow."

Seger has been with BD for more than 18 years, joining the company through the Bard acquisition, and he held a variety of roles within BD Surgery before moving to his current role in MDS. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Commerce/Finance from Santa Clara University and an Executive Master of Business Administration from Questrom School of Business at Boston University.
