"In a short period of time since joining our Board in May, Andy has made significant contributions toward the financial stewardship of Arcturus – I am very pleased to have him join our leadership team in this interim, but important role," said Joseph Payne, president & chief executive officer of Arcturus Therapeutics. "Andy’s extensive experience providing guidance and strategic counsel to life sciences management teams and boards, coupled with his successful track record as a highly regarded fund manager and analyst, will serve us well as we seek to efficiently advance our portfolio of RNA therapeutics, while prudently managing our financial resources. I look forward to working with Andy as we continue the search for the ideal permanent CFO."
