J&J Negotiated Over Executive's Departure

By JOANN S. LUBLIN And JONATHAN D. ROCKOFF

Johnson & Johnson's insistence on enforcing a non-compete agreement to keep senior executive Michael Mahoney from joining archrival Boston Scientific Corp. as chief executive led to unusual employment terms at the medical device maker, according to people familiar with the matter.

J&J agreed to allow Mr. Mahoney to join Boston Scientific only after the company promised the 46-year-old won't supervise competing businesses or become its chief executive until late 2012 and agreed to have its general counsel personally monitor compliance, those people said.

Boston Scientific said Tuesday that Mr. Mahoney, who had been heading J&J's medical devices and diagnostics group, would become its president next month and CEO effective on Nov. 1, 2012. In the interim, Hank Kucheman, who has been running Boston Scientific's defibrillator business, will serve as chief executive. Current CEO Ray Elliott is retiring.
