ATI Physical Therapy announces that Labeed Diab has stepped down as CEO and member of the Board of Directors, effective immediately.
John (Jack) Larsen, who has been a member of the Board since 2018, has been named Executive Chairman and will take an active role in leading the company along with Ray Wahl, Chief Operating Officer, and Joe Jordan, Chief Financial Officer.
The Bolingbrook, Ill-based physical therapy provider intends to conduct a national search for a new CEO with the assistance of an executive search firm, a media release explains.
“As ATI continues to take actions to serve the growing patient demand across our platform and sharpen its growth trajectory, the Board has determined that it is the right time for a leadership change. On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Labeed for his contributions to ATI during his tenure and wish him well in the future.
“Together with Ray, Joe and the rest of the ATI leadership team, we are moving quickly to implement our strategy to ensure ATI is the employer of choice for physical therapists nationwide. We remain confident in the strength of the ATI brand, our market position and the long-term tailwinds driving demand for our services. With the support of our Board, leadership and talented team across the country, ATI will continue to capitalize on the significant market opportunity ahead while we conduct a thorough search for ATI’s next leader.”
— John (Jack) Larsen
The leadership transition does not impact the 2021 earnings forecast that was announced on July 26, 2021, in connection with the second quarter 2021 earnings announcement, per the release.
