“We are pleased to welcome Jonathan Lieber to the CFO role,” said Walter C. Herlihy, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Repligen. “Over the past nine months, Repligen has become a profitable, significantly larger and more complex multinational organization. As the Company enters its next phase of growth, Mr. Lieber brings a particularly relevant skill set to the management team. His combined life sciences and capital markets expertise will be major assets to the Company as we advance on our strategy to further expand Repligen’s bioprocessing business and deliver top-tier financial performance.”
