New Rockwell Medical Inc. CEO Stuart Paul took office earlier this month and made his first personnel change by appointing former Rockwell consultant Jim McCarthy as senior vice president for corporate and business development. In this new role, McCarthy will report to Paul, who took over company operations after Rockwell fired longtime CEO Robert Chioini and two board members earlier this summer after clashes with company leadership.
McCarthy has more than 3 decades of experience in the life sciences industry, including a 25-year career with Bristol-Myers Squibb.
“During that time, he gained significant domestic and international corporate business development experience, executing a broad range of transactions including licensing deals, strategic alliances and acquisitions,” Rockwell said in a press release.
“Jim has extensive knowledge in business planning and product marketing and brings a track record of successfully executing upon commercialization strategies in a wide range of therapeutic areas,” said Paul. “In addition, he has significant experience leading corporate development activities, both in the U.S. and internationally. We are confident that Jim’s leadership skills and relevant experience will be an asset to our new management team.”
