Avrobio announced the appointment of Erik Ostrowski as interim Chief Executive Officer effective as of May 1. Ostrowski, who will continue as AVROBIO’s Chief Financial Officer, succeeds founding President and CEO Geoff MacKay, who is leaving to join an emerging early-stage company. The Board of Directors has begun a search to identify a permanent CEO. "On behalf of the entire board and the AVROBIO team, we thank Geoff for his eight-year commitment, building a purpose-driven company, aiming to free patients from a lifetime of genetic disease. We wish him great success in his next endeavor," said Bruce Booth, D.Phil., chairman of the AVROBIO board of directors. "As AVROBIO prepares to transition to late-stage development in two exciting programs, Erik will provide steady leadership. A four-year veteran of the company, he has taken on increasing operational and leadership responsibilities over the past few years. We have great confidence in Erik’s ability to lead this transition as the Board conducts its search for a permanent CEO."
