BELLEVUE, Wash.: Edifecs, Inc., a global health information technology solutions company, announced today the addition of Stephen Ayers to its leadership team as chief financial officer (CFO). With decades of finance management experience, including executive level leadership positions at Lyric, Change Healthcare, and McKesson Corp., Ayers will lead Edifecs’ finance team with a focus on growth.

“We are fortunate to welcome Stephen to our organization and integrate his expertise in strategic financial planning and operational excellence into Edifecs,” said Venkat Kavarthapu, CEO of Edifecs. “As Edifecs plans for continued high growth, Stephen will oversee our financial functions and provide leadership and counsel on future growth opportunities for accelerated momentum.”

Ayers honed his finance career at McKesson where he focused on growing and improving key business units and advising on various growth strategies including acquisitions and partnerships. He previously enjoyed a 24-year career with McKesson including three years as vice president of finance/CFO.
