www.adamspmc.com - Walter R. Adams, president and CEO of ADAMS Management Services Corporation (ADAMS), the leading provider of program management and advisory services for the healthcare industry, is pleased to announce the company's transition of leadership to its management team of professionals.
Steven W. Irmscher will succeed Mr. Adams as president and chief executive officer, and Jeffrey L. Christmann
has been appointed executive vice president and chief operating officer. This event is the result of a comprehensive succession plan, carefully engineered to ensure that ADAMS' 23-year legacy will not merely continue, rather, it will thrive in the years to follow.
Steve Irmscher and Jeff Christmann will be supported by William D. Hucks, Douglas A. Jones, Jane N. McDonald and Larry W. Throneberry. "This unparalleled team of talent will lead and manage the firm to an even higher level of performance for our clients, peers, shareholders and employees," states Mr. Adams. "I will continue to advise and be of counsel to ADAMS. However, I have looked forward to stepping aside to allow Steve, Jeff and the management team their well-earned opportunity to lead this organization."
This leadership transition also affords Mr. Adams the opportunity to focus his personal efforts in disaster planning, response and recovery for healthcare and other critical infrastructure on which the public depends, a need that has dramatically increased in importance since 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina.
