John Hammergren, the company's CEO, praised Campbell in a news release. “He has superbly guided McKesson's financial functions during a period of steady growth and shareholder value creation, and he has developed a strong team of individuals who will continue leading our finance operations during this transition,” he said.
Campbell's total compensation in the company's fiscal 2013, which ended March 31, was $12.3 million, according to a proxy statement issued to shareholders today ahead of its July 31 annual meeting.
McKesson's results were down slightly for the year. The company earned $1.3 billion on $122.4 billion in revenue, compared with $1.4 billion and $122.7 billion in fiscal 2012.
American Express said Campbell would join the company in early August.
