Company Announcement
Appointment of CEO
Thursday 26 April 2007
The Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Zeil Rosenberg as the new Chief Executive Officer of Anadis Ltd (ASX:ANX). Dr Rosenberg will be based in the New York area and will manage the transformation of Anadis towards programs targeted at high value markets. Dr Rosenberg has been working with Anadis during the past several months through the consulting firm BioVance Medical LLC, of which he is a principal.
Dr. Rosenberg is a recognized physician-leader and business executive with over 20 years of achievement in the global healthcare industry, with experience including 8 years at Becton Dickinson & Co. as Worldwide Business Leader and Medical Director for Immunization. Dr. Rosenberg serves as Chairperson, Committee on Terrorism and Emergency Preparedness at the American College of Preventive Medicine and is on the faculty of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.
This appointment has been initiated by the Board in order to bring greater focus to the emerging opportunities for Anadis and its technologies, particularly in the increasingly important areas of influenza, bio-defence programs, nosocomial disease (hospital acquired infections) and gastrointestinal disease such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Directors believe these programs will generate significant shareholder value when developed in the appropriate markets and receive strong global endorsement, through initiatives including international research collaborations and clinical programs.
Dr Rosenberg's initial focus will be on reviewing the vision and strategy of the business and coordinating and improving our existing commercialisation strategies and repositioning our research programs through international government, research and commercial collaborations.
