Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers
On January 13, 2005, Omnicell, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing, among other things, the transfer of oversight of the manufacturing, engineering and quality operations of the Company from Dennis Wolf to Chris Drew. With this change, Mr. Drew has become the Company’s principal operating officer. Mr. Wolf will retain responsibility for compliance and control functions. The Company believes that the separation of compliance and control functions from operational functions will more fully integrate operational processes. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The Company also announced the promotion of John Choma to Senior Vice-President of Human Resources and Employee Learning and Performance.
John Choma, 49, joined Omnicell in July 2004 as vice president, performance management. Prior to joining Omnicell, he had his own performance management consulting firm, World Champion Performance. From June 2001 to June 2003, Choma was responsible for training and development for Openwave Systems, a provider of operating systems for cellular phones. From 1997 to 2000, Choma managed the Enterprise Solutions Sales training, development and performance groups of Nortel Networks. He is a certified performance technologist from the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI). Choma holds a B.S. degree in education from the University of Virginia.
