Lifepoint Health Names Elliott Brown Chief Financial Officer
Veteran finance leader moves from interim to permanent CFO role
Lifepoint Health, a diversified healthcare delivery network dedicated to its mission of making communities healthier®, today announced that Elliott Brown has been named executive vice president and chief financial officer (CFO), effective immediately. A longtime finance leader with the company, Brown assumed the interim CFO role in June after Aaron Lewis transitioned from CFO to president and chief operating officer, and Lifepoint began a national search for his successor.
“Elliott’s extensive financial experience, deep knowledge of the company and exceptional leadership within our finance team distinguished him as the clear choice for our next CFO,” said David Dill, chairman and chief executive officer of Lifepoint Health. “He is a highly valued and respected leader, and I could not be more thrilled for him to take this next step and continue growing his career at Lifepoint.”
Brown joined Lifepoint in 2010 and has served in various escalating accounting and finance roles during his tenure. These include vice president, finance, senior vice president and treasurer, and, most recently, senior vice president and chief accounting officer. During his more than 15 years with the company, Brown has been responsible for Lifepoint’s consolidated financial reporting functions and has served as a key member of the financial leadership team, facilitating a number of transactions and financing activities during periods of tremendous growth and change within the organization.
Brown began his career with Ernst & Young, LLP as senior associate, assurance services.
He earned a Master of Science in accounting from Middle Tennessee State University and a Bachelor of Science in business administration, accounting from Auburn University. He is a certified public accountant in the state of Tennessee.
“Lifepoint has provided me with so many meaningful opportunities to develop and grow my career, and I’m excited to continue serving the company and advancing our mission in this expanded capacity,” said Brown. “I especially look forward to partnering with our clinical and operational leaders to further strengthen our financial foundation and support the needs of our patients and communities for years to come.”
