Brigham CFO leaving for Vermont hospital
The chief financial officer at Brigham and Women’s Hospital is leaving Boston for an academic medical center in Vermont.
Roger Deshaies, senior vice president for finance at the Brigham, will leave April 11 to become CFO at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt. The hospital is affiliated with the University of Vermont School of Medicine.
Brigham and Women’s spokesman Peter Brown said a search is under way to replace Deshaies, who was at the hospital for about 10 years.
Deshaies told the Burlington Free Press that he accepted the job because Fletcher Allen is "a place I could get my arms around."
Deshaies, 59, has worked in healthcare finance for 30 years.
"I've been at the large academic centers ... but there is a price you pay for that," he told the paper. "The market in Boston is very, very competitive. It's just more difficult to have an impact."
