“In a short period of time since joining our Board in May, Andy has made significant contributions toward the financial stewardship of Arcturus – I am very pleased to have him join our leadership team in this interim, but important role,” said Joseph Payne, president & chief executive officer of Arcturus Therapeutics. “Andy’s extensive experience providing guidance and strategic counsel to life sciences management teams and boards, coupled with his successful track record as a highly regarded fund manager and analyst, will serve us well as we seek to efficiently advance our portfolio of RNA therapeutics, while prudently managing our financial resources. I look forward to working with Andy as we continue the search for the ideal permanent CFO.” 

“I am delighted to work with Joseph Payne and the Arcturus team during this critical transitional period,” said Mr. Sassine. “I strongly believe in Arcturus’ lipid-mediated drug delivery technology potential, and am eager to help set the Company on a course to achieve long-term success, to the benefit of patients and shareholders alike.”
