Keith Tickell has been appointed as senior vice president and chief financial officer of the health system.
Baptist Health of Northeast Florida—a Florida-based member of the Coastal Community Health network—has appointed Keith Tickell to the role of senior vice president and chief financial officer, effective immediately.
Tickell joined Baptist Health in 2015 where he served as senior vice president of strategic assets and real estate. He took on the role of interim CFO at Baptist Health at the beginning of the year replacing former CFO Scott Wooten, who decided to step down after serving in the role since 2014.
"Keith Tickell brings to the CFO role a robust set of skillsets and a unique perspective that encompasses finance, strategic assets, and operations," Michael Mayo, DHA, FACHE, president and chief executive officer of Baptist Health, said in a release.
Tickell has served in the CFO role at different companies including Flagler Development, a commercial real estate firm, and the North Highland Company, a business consulting firm. He was also vice president and CFO for Sabal Corporation, an owner, developer, and manager of a mixed-use commercial development park in Tampa, and Nordic Refrigerated Services in Atlanta.
As CFO of Baptist Health of Northeast Florida, Tickell will be responsible for shaping the organization's financial strategies and future growth throughout the region. He will lead the company's efforts in financial planning, reporting, and tax and treasury functions, as well as real estate, design, and construction.
"His diverse experience includes working in private equity, publicly traded, and privately held organizations," Mayo said. "Above all, Keith is acutely aligned with the mission and values of Baptist Health. I am proud to have him as a trusted member of our executive team."
