Boyle started at Medline as a sales representative in 1996. More than 25 years later, in 2023, he was selected to lead the manufacturer and supply chain provider. Throughout the process, he has been committed to excellence: The company under his leadership last year invested $300 million into infrastructure. It has also added product lines to its portfolio through acquisitions, including United Medco, PrefConnect and Ecolab’s global surgical solutions business. It has also maintained a 95% reported customer retention rate. Within the company, Boyle has acted to build a culture prioritizing growth and development: He sponsored the launch of Medline’s first inclusive leadership training series for directors and above and helped implement an ESG model. The efforts have contributed to a decrease in voluntary turnover among operations and manufacturing staff and higher employee satisfaction rates.
