Sanford exec resigns, moves to Colorado

FARGO – Citing the desire to be closer to his family, a Sanford executive here has resigned his position as executive vice president.

Andrew Richburg, who originally started working with MeritCare then joined Sanford when they merged in 2009, said he resigned his position on Aug. 17 and is now living in Colorado with his family.

Sanford President and CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft said he had asked Richburg to take on a new role in a Marketing Innovations Center a few weeks before his resignation.

Krabbenhoft said they are now conducting a search to fill the vacant position and hope to have someone in place by early 2013.
