Johnson & Johnson, which has been rocked by a series of product recalls, has named Michael Sneed VP-global affairs in January. He will take over the duties of Brian Perkins, who is retiring in March.
Since 2007, Sneed has been group chairman for vision care and a member of the company’s medical devices and diagnostics group operating company. He joined the company’s marketing department in 1983.
In a memo, J&J CEO William Weldon said Sneed will better align the company’s "global functions to support growth and provide a dedicated focus to all aspects of our reputation."
Carol Goodrich, director, corporate media relations for J&J, said Sneed takes the new role Jan. 1. His team will include Perkins, who will "transition responsibilities consistent with his announced retirement in early 2012," and Ray Jordan, VP-PA and corporate communications.
