Premier, Inc. (US74051N1028) announced two executive appointments on September 21, 2026, according to Business Wire. Florian Quarré became Chief AI and Analytics Officer, while Matthew Zubiller became Chief Business and Product Officer, putting two experienced executives at the center of Premier's AI-first strategy.

Two leaders target AI execution

Quarré will lead enterprise AI, data, analytics and technology strategy, including Premier's new AI and Analytics Center of Excellence. Business Wire says his mandate covers the use of data and intelligence in products, solutions and workflows for healthcare providers.

Quarré brings more than 20 years of experience in healthcare, artificial intelligence and transformation, including senior roles at HealthScape Advisors, PwC, Ciox Health, ExponentialAI and Deloitte, according to Business Wire.

Product strategy gets a second anchor

Zubiller will lead product operations and enterprise strategy, with responsibility for identifying provider needs and prioritizing investments in solutions that deliver measurable member and business value. His remit links product development with commercialization and growth.

Business Wire reports that Zubiller brings 30 years of experience leading healthcare, technology and services organizations. That is 10 years more than Quarré's experience, creating a leadership pairing with distinct depth across AI and product execution.

Premier builds around healthcare data

Premier's published company profile describes a technology-driven healthcare improvement business that combines data and analytics, supply chain solutions, advisory services and collaborative programs. Its stated customer base includes healthcare providers, suppliers and payers, giving the new roles a broad operating field.

Premier is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and its chief executive is Emad Rizk, M.D., according to Business Wire. The company listed 2,462 employees in the release, while the leadership announcement frames AI integration and connected products as the next stage of its operating strategy.

Leadership change sets the operating test

The September 21, 2026 appointments give Premier two measurable execution lanes: Quarré's AI and analytics mandate and Zubiller's product and enterprise strategy mandate. For investors, the key question is how quickly those responsibilities translate the company's data and healthcare expertise into products with measurable value.
