Vaxart appointed Jeroen Grasman as its chief financial officer, effective May 19.
Grasman will succeed Phillip Lee, who is resigning from the top finance position for personal reasons, the clinical-stage biotechnology company said Tuesday.
Lee will remain with the company as a non-executive employee through June 1 in order to assist with the transition.
Grasman has more than 20 years of financial leadership experience in the biotechnology industry, Vaxart said. He most recently served as CFO of AltruBio, a private clinical-stage biotech company. Prior, he held leadership roles at PACT Pharma and Intarcia Therapeutics.
Vaxart disclosed the CFO succession as it posted a net loss of $15.6 million, or 7 cents a share in the first quarter, compared with a loss of $24.4 million, or 14 cents a share, a year earlier.
Revenue increased to $20.9 million from $2.2 million.
