Preston Simons
Google's sister company Verily Life Sciences has named Preston Simons as its chief information officer.
As Verily's CIO, Simons will build out the Alphabet subsidiary's information-technology systems and strategies.
Simons mostly recently worked as a consultant as president and managing partner of Simons & Associates, a role he started in 2018.
He previously served as executive vice president and CIO at Aurora Health Care in Milwaukee, before the system's 2018 merger with Advocate Health Care. Before joining Aurora Health Care, Simons had served as vice president of IT and CIO of medical-device and pharmaceutical manufacturer Abbott Laboratories for a decade.
Verily also in January named Andreas "Drew" Panayiotou as chief marketing officer.
