James "Jim" Reid-Anderson (born April 12, 1959)[1] is the president and chief executive officer of Six Flags, having previously held that title from August 2010 to February 2016. He is responsible for having led the company through an eight-fold increase in market value over a five-year period. Under his leadership the company set a new strategic direction, achieved all-time high guest and employee satisfaction ratings and significant operational improvements, and drove a ten times return on investment for shareholders. Jim was previously a healthcare adviser to both Apollo and the managing board of Siemens AG, a worldwide manufacturer and supplier of electronics and electrical engineering in the industrial, energy and healthcare sectors. Under Reid-Anderson, Dade Behring was acquired by Siemens.

Personal

Jim Reid-Anderson was born in Baghdad in 1959[1] but left to Beirut soon after due to the 14 July Revolution. He grew up in Lebanon, Guyana, and later London, where he was educated at Salesian College, Battersea. He obtained an Honors Degree in Commerce from the University of Birmingham in England and is a Fellow of the UK Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. He is married with four children.

Career

His early career involved stints at Mobil, Tricentrol, Grand Met/Diageo, PepsiCo and Wilson Sporting Goods, living in various parts of the world including Cyprus, Singapore and the US. Reid-Anderson joined Dade Behring Holdings Inc, a company which manufactured testing equipment and supplies for the medical diagnostics industry, in 1996 as executive vice-president and chief financial officer (CFO) and became chief administrative officer and CFO in September 1997. In April 1999, he was promoted to the role of president and chief operating officer and then CEO in September 2000. He was elected as the chairman of the board in October 2002.

In 2005 he was a finalist in the Smart Business Chicago Entrepreneur of the Year awards[2] and was later named in the British Sunday Times as the 22nd most influential Briton in the US[3]

In 2007 Dade Behring was acquired by the German conglomerate Siemens AG.[4] In November 2007 Reid-Anderson became the CEO of Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics and in May 2008 became a member of Siemens AG's managing board and CEO of Siemens Healthcare Sector. In 2009 he became a director of Stericycle Inc, an Illinois-based waste management company.[5]

On 12 August 2010 Reid-Anderson was named chairman, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Six Flags.[6] The success of Dade Behring led investors to appoint him to this role and their belief in him was rewarded as the company saw six record years in a row from a financial, guest and employee satisfaction perspective. He moved into the role of executive chairman on 19 February 2016 allowing others in the organisation to move up into senior roles, a trait of his leadership style and success. He continues to have a role in key strategic matters at the company, including governance, M&A, international and organizational development.

On 18 July 2017, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: SIX) announced its board of directors has appointed Jim Reid-Anderson, who has been serving as executive chairman of the company since February 2016, to re-assume his position as the company's chairman, president and CEO effective immediately, replacing John M. Duffey who has retired from the company. Reid-Anderson formerly served as chairman, president and CEO of Six Flags from August 2010 through February 2016.[7]
