Nephron announced an important leadership transition today. Chief Executive Officer Lou Kennedy has departed from her executive role. Consequently, the Board appointed Haywood Miller as Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.
Furthermore, secured lenders strongly support this next chapter for Nephron. These strategic partners maintain full confidence in the firm’s growth priorities and manufacturing footprint. Therefore, Nephron continues executing its long-term transformation strategy without interruption.
The company remains dedicated to supplying safe, effective medications to healthcare providers nationwide. Operational leaders emphasize that customer relationships and daily manufacturing activities proceed normally.

Operational Continuity and Industry Expertise Drive Transformation
Miller brings over thirty years of executive experience across pharmaceutical manufacturing and healthcare sectors. Additionally, he gained direct knowledge of Nephron while serving as a Managing Director at Berkeley Research Group. During recent months, Miller advised corporate management on strategic operational initiatives.
In his new role, Miller will collaborate closely with executive team members across every department. The management team will invest in corporate operations, facility growth, and internal talent development. Simultaneously, the organization will maintain rigorous quality control standards across all production lines.
“Nephron has a strong foundation built on an exceptional team, trusted customer relationships, and world-class manufacturing capabilities, and the opportunity ahead is significant,” said Haywood Miller, Interim CEO of Nephron. “I look forward to working alongside our team to build on that foundation, execute on our growth and transformation strategy, and continue serving as a dependable source of high-quality medicines for providers nationwide.”
