BRIAN GARISH
Banfield Pet Hospital has named Brian Garish as its new chief operations officer and senior vice president of operations.
In his new role, Garish will lead hospital operations and field leadership for Banfield’s growing network of nearly 925 hospitals in the United States and Puerto Rico. Garish will also oversee operations support, new hospital openings, real estate, facilities, construction and charter operations teams, as well as help lead Banfield’s partnership and collaboration with PetSmart.
“Brian’s experience in building high-performing teams and his dedication to customer service will be tremendous assets to Banfield,” said Vincent Bradley, president and CEO for Banfield. “What impresses me most about Brian is not only his excellent track record in achieving results but his method of doing so – through a commitment to collaboration and open communication with his teams.”
Garish brings more than 20 years of health care leadership to his new role. Most recently he served as an area vice president at CVS Caremark where he was responsible for 600 stores covering 16 states with 15,000 associates.
Garish holds a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Indiana University.
Banfield Pet Hospital is currently headquartered in Portland, but the company will relocate to Vancouver next year.
