SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Frazier Healthcare Partners, a private equity firm focused exclusively on the healthcare industry, is pleased to announce that Tom Rodgers will join the firm as a Senior Partner in October 2026. In this role, Mr. Rodgers will partner with Frazier’s Growth Buyout deal teams, providing strategic counsel on investment evaluation, portfolio value creation, and sector-level insights informed by more than 35 years of experience in healthcare strategy, corporate development, and venture investing.
Mr. Rodgers most recently served as Chief Strategy Officer of McKesson Corporation, where he was a member of the company’s Executive Operating Team during a period of significant growth and strategic transformation. In that capacity, he oversaw McKesson’s enterprise growth strategy, acquisition pipeline, venture investments, and an internal innovation team. Prior to his role as CSO, he led the launch and successful scaling of McKesson’s venture fund and earlier in his career directed strategy for the company’s pharmaceutical distribution business.
Previously, Mr. Rodgers served as Director of Strategic Investments at Cambia Health and was a Partner at Advanced Technology Ventures, where he led the fund’s investments in healthcare technology. Earlier in his career, he held roles at Genentech, Fitlinxx, IBM, and The Wilkerson Group. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Wharton School.
“Tom is a rare combination of operator, investor, and strategist who has spent his entire career at the intersection of healthcare and innovation,” said Ben Magnano, Managing Partner at Frazier Healthcare Partners. “His experience leading corporate strategy at one of the largest and most important companies in healthcare, combined with a deep venture background, gives him the ability to shape investment themes, evaluate opportunities, and support portfolio companies in ways that are immediately additive to our firm.”
“Frazier’s singular focus on healthcare and its reputation for building market-leading companies in partnership with great management teams are what drew me to this opportunity,” said Tom Rodgers. “I look forward to working alongside the team, many of whom I have known and respected for years, to identify and support the next generation of companies transforming healthcare delivery.”
