Irving-based McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK) has announced that Kenny Cheung will join the company as EVP and CFO, effective May 29, 2026.
Cheung will be replacing Britt Vitalone, the company’s current EVP and CFO, who has elected to retire after “a successful and distinguished 20-year career with the company,” including more than eight years as CFO, McKesson said.
McKesson CEO Brian Tyler called retiring CFO Vitalone “an exceptional partner and leader. He has been instrumental in advancing the company’s financial performance, engaging with shareholders, and instilling a culture of financial discipline.”
Vitalone “has consistently emphasized aligning strategy with execution,” Tyler added in a statement. “His financial stewardship and disciplined approach to capital allocation have driven meaningful value creation and helped strengthen our financial foundation and evolve our portfolio to position McKesson for long-term success. I’m deeply grateful for his leadership and the impact it has had on the company.”
After leaving his CFO post, Vitalone will continue his work with McKesson as a strategic advisor to support a smooth transition and the planned separation of McKesson’s Medical Surgical Solutions.
Cheung joins from his CFO role at Sysco
Cheung joins McKesson from Sysco, where he served as EVP and chief financial officer, overseeing global financial planning and analysis, accounting, audit, tax, and corporate finance.
The leadership transition comes as McKesson continues to execute its strategy and deliver strong performance, the company said. In its third quarter earnings announcement, the company delivered another strong quarter, reporting record revenue and adjusted operating profit, reflecting continued momentum across its oncology and multispecialty and biopharma services platforms, along with strength in the core distribution businesses.
