Jim Reid-Anderson
James Reid-Anderson (born 12 April 1959) is a British businessman who was formerly the president, chairman, and chief executive officer (CEO) of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation. Before working for Six Flags, Anderson was previously a healthcare adviser to both Apollo and the managing board of Siemens AG. Under Reid-Anderson, Siemens acquired Dade Behring.
He succeeded interim CEO Al Weber Jr. in August 2010, who led the corporate restructuring of the company following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the ousting of former executives Mark Shapiro and Daniel Snyder. Under his first period of leadership, Six Flags' market value increased eight-fold through a period of high guest and employee satisfaction ratings, improved operations, and a ten-fold return for shareholders.
He held the position until February 2016, before being reinstated in 2017 following the sudden departure of his successor, John Duffey. During his second tenure, Six Flags re-acquired many of its former properties that had been sold off to other companies, including Six Flags Darien Lake, Frontier City, and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor SplashTown, among others.
Jim Reid-Anderson was born in Baghdad in 1959 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.
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.
In 1996, Reid-Anderson joined Dade Behring Holdings Inc., a company which manufactured testing equipment and supplies for the medical diagnostics industry, as executive vice-president and chief financial officer (CFO) and later 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, Reid-Anderson was a finalist in the Smart Business Chicago Entrepreneur of the Year awards and was later named in the British Sunday Times as the 22nd most influential Briton in the US
In 2007, Dade Behring was acquired by the German conglomerate Siemens AG. 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.
