HLS Therapeutics Inc. said Monday that it appointed Craig Millian as its new chief executive officer, effective the beginning of May.
The Toronto-based pharmaceutical company, which is focused on cardiovascular and central nervous system therapeutics, said Mr. Millian's appointment coincides with current CEO Gilbert Godin's retirement on May 1, and is the result of an extensive search conducted by the company board.
Mr. Millian served as chief operating officer at Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc., and held commercial leadership positions at EMD Serono, the Canadian biopharmaceutical business of Merck KGaA.
