AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — National Veterinary Associates (NVA) announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed John G.

Allgaier will continue supporting NVA as an advisor during the transition.

“We are thrilled to welcome John to NVA.

Bruno most recently served as President and Chief Operating Officer at Xerox, beginning in 2022, where he oversaw all commercial business segments and led the strategic acquisitions of ITsavvy and Lexmark.

Together we’ll help pets and the people who love them enjoy more quality years together.”

Burdick also expressed gratitude to Allgaier: “I want to thank Larry for guiding NVA through an important chapter in its journey. Under his leadership, we sharpened our focus on North American operations and began a multi-year effort to better connect our systems and processes. Most importantly, Larry has always cared deeply about the people and pets we serve, and he leaves NVA stronger and well-positioned to continue revolutionizing veterinary medicine.”

“NVA is a strong and resilient organization,” added Allgaier. “The pivot to focus on organic growth was a significant change that was well-executed by the organization and has established the foundation for John to drive continued growth. I am very thankful to the veterinarians and their teams, to the talented staff throughout the organization, and to the leadership teams. I am confident John will be just what NVA needs going forward.”
