Abbott Laboratories has tapped its controller to be its next chief financial officer and will have him continue reporting to the healthcare-products company's current financial chief.

The Abbott Park, Ill.-based company said in a securities filing Monday that Philip Boudreau has been appointed senior vice president of finance and chief financial officer, effective Sept. 1.

According to the filing, Boudreau will continue to report to Robert Funck, who has served as Abbott's executive vice president of finance and chief financial officer since March 2020. The filing indicates that Funck will continue to serve as the company's executive vice president of finance.

The company has promoted John McCoy Jr. to take over as controller when Boudreau leaves the role.
