SKANEATELES FALLS — Welch Allyn has tapped the Allyn Family Office for a new CFO.
The medical-device manufacturer hired Joseph Hennigan as its executive vice president and CFO. He had been managing director of the Allyn Family Office, which provides legal, tax, and investment services to Welch Allyn shareholders.
Before his time at the Allyn Family Office, Hennigan worked as senior vice president and CFO at Hand Held Products, Inc., an automatic identification and data-collection company that was acquired by Honeywell at the end of 2007. He worked to integrate the two companies after that acquisition. Hennigan also spent a large chunk of his early career as a partner in the international audit, tax, and business-consulting firm KPMG.
