DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$GLTI #biotech–Former VP of Goldman Sachs Jim Johnston is the newest member to join the board of Greyledge Technologies, Inc. (“Greyledge” or “the Company”). He has extensive experience in investment banking and early-stage private funding, which he will apply as Chief of Corporate Development.

“It is an honor to welcome Mr. Johnston to the Greyledge Executive team,” says Dr. David Karli, Greyledge CEO and Founder. “His history of serial success and diverse experiences will be an essential asset in our ongoing growth and development efforts to advance our mission of optimizing cell therapeutics derived from a patient’s own body.”

For Mr. Johnston, the decision to join the Greyledge team at this important inflection point in the company’s growth was also inspired by personal reasons.

He will shape the company’s overarching strategy, including global business and corporate development as well as investments, acquisitions, and more.
