“Pepe joined Radius one month after the FDA approval of TYMLOS® in 2017 and he has been instrumental in helping Radius advance from a development company to a commercial company with a late stage pipeline,” said Kelly Martin, Radius CEO. “Over the last few months, he has been part of the team that completed the elacestrant business development transaction, which was considered a critical step for the company,” added Martin. “I would like to thank Pepe for his efforts and contributions, and we wish him nothing but the very best as he moves forward,” concluded Martin.

This cross functional team will integrate several important and related functions including financial modeling and analytics, capital structure and balance sheet management, investor relations, banking and analyst interactions, business development, and alliance/project management.
The Company expects to add a select number people to this group with skill sets that extend our current capabilities.
