Two Bristol-Myers Executives Will Depart April 1

Dow Jones News
Two members of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s (BMY) management
council are leaving the drug maker effective April 1, and their
responsibilities will be transferred to another executive.
The moves suggest that incoming chief executive Lamberto
Andreotti is putting his own stamp on the New York company's
management team. Andreotti, Bristol's chief operating officer, was
named earlier this month to succeed James Cornelius as CEO,
effective May 4. Cornelius will remain chairman.
The departing executives are Robert Zito, senior vice president
of corporate and business communications and chief communications
officer, and Anthony McBride, senior vice president of human
resources, Bristol-Myers spokeswoman Tracy Furey said
Wednesday.
The organizations they oversee will report to John Celentano,
president of emerging markets and Asia Pacific.
Furey declined to comment on the reasons for the changes.
Zito joined Bristol-Myers in 2004 after serving as the head of
public relations at the New York Stock Exchange. "I had a wonderful
six years," he said Wednesday, but declined to elaborate on his
departure.
McBride was named head of HR in 2008; he joined Bristol in 1995.
He couldn't be reached for comment.
Bristol shares declined 6 cents to $26.73 Wednesday.
