Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today announced that it will appoint Flavia H. Pease as its next Chief Financial Officer, succeeding David R.

James C. Foster, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased to welcome Flavia Pease as our next Chief Financial Officer. Flavia is a highly regarded financial leader whose deep industry knowledge and experience managing the Finance organizations of large, growing businesses will greatly benefit Charles River. With a collaborative and purpose-based approach, Flavia will help ensure the continued success of the Company by providing sound financial oversight and disciplined capital management as we work to achieve our strategic and financial goals. Our Company is stronger today than it has ever been, and as we celebrate our 75th anniversary, it is an exciting time to welcome her to Charles River. I look forward to partnering with Flavia as we work to advance the Company’s mission and our position as the leading, non-clinical contract research organization.”

Flavia Pease, incoming Corporate Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “I am very excited to be joining a purpose-driven organization that is a leader in the life sciences industry. Charles River presents a compelling opportunity to lead a deep and talented finance team, collaborate with experienced senior leaders, and leverage my experience as a trusted business partner to help the Company achieve its goals. I look forward to working to build upon Charles River’s strong legacy as an industry leader, deliver on its growth objectives, and continue to enhance value for shareholders.”
