The Seasoned Executive has a Deep, Personal Connection to the Cell Therapeutics Biotech Company’s Mission and Profound Experience in Global Business Strategy and Funding.
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. As someone who had stem cell and PRP therapy themselves, he says, “I’m walking proof that it works when done correctly and will help drive great advances in how patients are treated going forward.”
Mr. Johnston’s profound belief in the company’s goal to help provide more efficacious and personalized options for autologous treatments will prove pivotal at this point of the company’s growth. “I’m proud to be a part of the Greyledge team and believe my background and experience mesh well with the founders’,” Johnston says, “and that together we will continue to build upon the great foundation that already exists.” He will put all his experience and strategic energies towards improving people’s ability to live more active and productive lives through cell therapeutics that stem from the patient’s own body. He will shape the company’s overarching strategy, including global business and corporate development as well as investments, acquisitions, and more.
Prior to joining the biotech company, the Harvard Business School graduate Johnston served as managing partner for Emerald Lake Advisors, functioned as Managing Partner at Next Level Capital, and shaped the future of Goldman Sachs as Vice President.
