Ms. Faig brings to Henry Schein extensive expertise in finance, audit, and public accounting and particular experience in the healthcare sector, including hospitals, health insurance, biotechnology, and medical device companies. Before retiring in July 2021, from her 38-year career at Ernst & Young LLP (EY), Ms. Faig served in several leadership roles, including U.S. Health Leader and West Region Health and Life Sciences Leader, where she was responsible for developing and driving EY’s strategy to grow its healthcare practice in a rapidly changing environment.

“We are pleased to welcome Carole to our Board. Her proven expertise in navigating the transformation of health care and her deep accounting experience will be valuable assets as we advance the strategic goals of the Company. We expect Carole will bring new perspectives that will enhance the effectiveness of our Board, and we look forward to her contributions to Henry Schein’s continued success,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein.
Ms Faig is currently a member of the boards of directors of three companies, where she serves as the Audit Committee Chair: Cue Health, a Nasdaq-listed company, and Affinia Therapeutics and QuVa Pharma, private equity–backed private businesses. A champion for diversity, she served on EY’s Gender Equity Task Force and was awarded EY’s Chairman’s Value Award and Americas Assurance Inclusive Leadership Award in recognition of her commitment to building an inclusive workplace.
“It is a pleasure to join the Board of Henry Schein and be part of a team actively shaping the future of health care amidst a rapidly evolving health ecosystem,” said Ms. Faig. “Henry Schein’s commitment to providing innovative health care solutions and to be a trusted advisor and consultant to our customers is truly inspiring.
