Shield Therapeutics - Greg Madison succeeds Tim Watts as CEO
Shield Therapeutics (STX) has announced the appointment of a new chief executive officer (CEO), Greg Madison, with effect from 1 June 2021. Greg is a seasoned CEO with previous experience of the US iron deficiency market. Notably, he led the transformation of Keryx Biopharmaceuticals (2015–18) into a US commercial stage company focused on Auryxia (ferric citrate), an oral product for the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia and hyperphosphatemia. Given the primary focus for STX now is to establish and expand its US-based operations ahead of a Q221 launch of lead asset Accrufer (oral ferric maltol), the appointment of a US-based CEO makes sense in our view. Our valuation of STX is unchanged at £505.7m or 234p/share.Shield Therapeutics is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of late stage, hospital-focused pharmaceuticals which address areas of high unmet medical need. Co.'s key products are Feraccru®, commercially available for the treatment of Iron Deficiency Anaemia, and PT20, for the treatment of systemic phosphate accumulation (otherwise known as hyperphosphatemia). Co. has an additional pipeline of three prescription pharmaceutical assets (PT20, PT30 and PT40) with commercial synergies.
