German contract drug manufacturing company Rentschler Biopharma SE named Benedikt von Braunmühl as its new CEO and hired Tom Roberts as its first president of Milford-based Rentchler Biopharma Inc. and general manager U.S.
Prior to joining Rentschler Biopharma on Tuesday, von Braunmühl served as CEO of HMNC Brain Health in Munich, Germany, where he transformed a research-focused organization to a clinical-stage biopharma company, according to a Tuesday press release from Rentschler. He replaced Frank Mathias in the role of CEO.
Roberts joined the company in his newly-created role on Sept. 12 and oversees U.S. operation of the company, including its Milford facility where the company employs 228 people and is undergoing the largest expansion in its history.
“I am excited to join the Rentschler Biopharma team as the company looks to expand its U.S. business,” Roberts said in the press release. “I look forward to working closely with the entire team as we continue to build, always keeping in mind what our clients need to successfully bring life-saving treatments to patients.”
He was previously at Texas-based Vitanova Biomedical, where he provided executive leadership, facilitated funding, and oversaw business and product development, regulatory compliance, manufacturing, and technology acquisition of a groundbreaking nanoparticle-based combination cancer therapeutic.
