Wendy Shusko has been named chief operating officer of WellSpring Pharmaceutical. In her new role, Ms. Shusko will maintain financial responsibilities as well as broaden her oversight to operations with an initial focus on the newly acquired consumer brands product line.
       
Ms. Shusko joined the company in 2000 and most recently served as chief financial officer. She has more than 20 years of experience in finance and operations, with 16 of those years in the pharmaceutical industry. From 1992 until joining the company, Ms. Shusko worked in various management and financial positions for Roberts Pharmaceutical, an international pharmaceutical company, including director of finance and financial operations.
       
"WellSpring's success thus far can be attributed to driven efforts toward a common vision.  I am now asking Ms. Shusko to apply her experience and skills to operations with the anticipation that we will continue that trend in the years to come," said Dr. Robert A. Vukovich, WellSpring's chief executive officer and chairman.
