NeoGenomics Shares Are Falling Today: What's Going On?

Shares of NeoGenomics, Inc. NEO are trading lower after the company announced that CEO Chris Smith will retire effective April 1 2025.

What To Know: Tony Zook, an independent board member since 2023, has been named as the incoming CEO. Zook brings substantial healthcare and leadership experience, having previously served as Executive Vice President of Global Commercial Operations at AstraZeneca (AZ), where he managed a $30 billion global portfolio. He also held the role of President of MedImmune, AstraZeneca's biologics division and chaired AZ's Commercial Investment Board, overseeing strategic investments company-wide.
