Moderna Inc. named Jorge Gomez its new chief financial officer, succeeding David Meline who the company said will retire but remain on as a consultant to ensure a smooth transition.

Earlier Monday, dental-products manufacturer Dentsply Sirona Inc. said Mr. Gomez would step down as its finance chief. He will start in his new role as CFO of Moderna on May 9, the vaccine maker said.

"As we grow and scale the company globally, Jorge's experience leading the financial functions of multinational healthcare companies will be an asset to our team," Chief Executive Stephane Bancel said. "Jorge's passion for sustainability and ESG aligns closely with Moderna's vision to make corporate responsibility a critical part of who we are and what we do."

Shares of Moderna fell 3% in premarket trading on Monday.

Before serving as CFO of Dentsply Sirona, Mr. Gomez was CFO of Cardinal Health Inc.
