Vectura appoints Per-Olof Andersson as Non-Executive Director

Respiratory drug developer Vectura has announced the appointment of former Almirall Executive Director of R&D Per-Olof Andersson as a Non-Executive Director of the Board. Before Almirall, he worked for almost two decades for Pharmacia and Pfizer. Andersson retired from Almirall in 2011 and has been working as an independent consultant since that time.

Vectura Chairman Bruno Angelici commented, “We are delighted to welcome Per-Olof to the Board of Vectura. Per-Olof brings a strong and impressive track record to the Company and he has experience at both large pharmaceutical and medium sized specialty pharmaceutical companies. His significant industry experience will be of great benefit to the Company as we continue our transformation into a specialty pharmaceutical business.”

Earlier this year, Vectura announced that Chief Executive Chris Blackwell would step down by the end of June 2015.
