HOUSTON, Sept. 25, 2018 /CNW/ -- Nobilis Health Corp. (NYSE American: HLTH) (NEO: HLTH) ("Nobilis" or the "Company") announced today it has named current CFO of Operations, Kenny Klein, as the Company's Interim CFO, effective immediately. Current CFO of Nobilis Health, David Young, will remain on until October 1st, 2018 and continue as an advisor through December 31st, 2018.
"David has done a great job recruiting a world class finance team and building strong banking relationships that we will continue to leverage in the coming years. We are glad he will continue serving as a resource to Kenny Klein during the transitional period as we continue our work on revenue cycle management to accelerate the collection of our accounts receivable and reduce our DSO," said Harry Fleming, CEO.
"The decision to tender my resignation was an extremely difficult process," said Mr. Young. "However, my family is very important to me and commuting to and from my home in Austin, Texas to Nobilis' corporate headquarters in Houston for the past two years has become difficult. Harry and the management team have been extremely supportive of my decision, and I feel fortunate to have worked alongside them during my tenure with Nobilis."
"Kenny Klein has worked at Nobilis for over 10 years, including 5 years as the corporation's CFO. As the CFO of Operations for the last 2 years, he has overseen all operations and been instrumental in the Company's efforts to increase operational efficiencies, cut costs, and drive margin improvement across the entire Company. I have great confidence that he will help significantly reduce our DSO and return us to the levels he routinely achieved when he was previously CFO. Kenny's substantive revenue cycle leadership experience gives him an understanding of Nobilis' operating model which makes him ideally suited to lead the business during this transition," said Harry Fleming, CEO.
In addition, Marty Spake is Nobilis' new Vice President of Corporate Development, responsible for managing its Investor Relations Department. Marty is a West Point graduate who earned his MBA from Stanford University Graduate School of Business. Marty has over 20 years of corporate leadership experience including positions in investor relations, corporate strategy, mergers & acquisitions and corporate development with Compaq Computer and Chicago Bridge and Iron.
