Orthocell Board Change

  • Orthocell founding Board member and former Chairman, Dr Stewart Washer, retires from the Orthocell Board.

  • With an experienced senior, multinational advisory team and an advanced regenerative medicine portfolio, Orthocell is ideally positioned to drive its products into the global markets

Perth, Australia; 22 December 2023: Regenerative medicine company Orthocell Limited (ASX: OCC, “Orthocell” or the “Company”) today announced that founding Board member and former Chairman, Dr Stewart Washer, has retired from the Company’s Board.

Dr Washer has completed the transition from his previous role as the long-standing Chair and has fully handed over the reins to new Chairman John Van Der Wielen. Stewart made the decision to retire from the Orthocell Board after having served almost 10 years to allow him to pursue other interests.

Orthocell Chairman, Mr John Van Der Wielen, said: “Stewart’s commitment to the success of Orthocell in the early phase of the company was commendable and I am so appreciative of his assistance in my early days as incoming Chair of the Orthocell Board. I sincerely wish Stewart all the best in his future endeavours.”

Orthocell Board now has five Directors comprising four Non-Executive Directors and one Executive Director. The recent appointment of Professor Fiona Wood, independent non-executive Director Dr Ravi Thadhani and Chairman Mr John Van Der Wielen to the Orthocell Board, has strengthened the leadership team as the Company prepares for the next phase of development and commercialisation of its unique medical devices and cellular therapies.

Orthocell CEO Paul Anderson stated that Dr Washer was pivotal to the successful IPO of Orthocell back in 2014 and his contribution to Orthocell’s transition from early phase R&D company to a commercial success is greatly appreciated.
