IXICO is pleased to announce that Bram Goorden
will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company from 19 August 2024.
Bram has over 20 years leadership experience in BioPharma and precision medicine, serving in roles where he has been instrumental in shaping commercial strategies for scale, growing revenues and ultimately enabling realisation of shareholder value. He has strong CNS experience, and established networks within IXICO's target market bringing sector relevant strength to IXICO.
Bram joins having recently held C-level roles at Eagle Genomics Limited where he drove key industry alliances for their AI platform and NASDAQ listed SOPHiA Genetics Inc where he expanded their US footprint and delivered key alliances with Pharma. In previous roles as VP International Business, he expanded Foundation Medicine Inc's global presence in precision medicine including programs with major BioPharma partners, and as division CEO of US-based Prometheus Laboratories he delivered shareholder value via the integration of the company into Nestle Health Science SA. Bram has also held senior management positions within UCB Pharma SA and Eli Lilly & Co, both in the field of CNS medicine.
Mark Warne, Chair of the Board, commented: "I am delighted to welcome Bram to the Board as our CEO. Bram has significant track record in the commercial application of AI precision medicine solutions that is complemented by technical knowledge within neurodegenerative diseases. As IXICO looks to return to growth, Bram's experiences provide excellent credentials to ensure IXICO also realises shareholder value.
I would like to thank Giulio Cerroni for his valuable contributions over many years. Having joined IXICO in 2017, Giulio steered the company through a period of both strong growth and more challenging trading conditions. He has overseen the development of the company's science and technology portfolio which, in combination with IXICO's operational capabilities, ensure the consistent delivery of leading services to the CNS clinical trials market."
