Galapagos Appoints Aaron Cox as new CFO
Galapagos announced the appointment of Aaron Cox as CFO, effective 7 July 2025. Most recently, he served as Executive VP and CFO at Horizon Therapeutics. Aaron replaces Thad Huston, who joined Galapagos as CFO in 2023. With plans to explore strategic options for the cell therapy business, as well as plans to utilise the €3.3b cash (as of 1Q25) to build a new pipeline through business development, Aaron's network and experience in deal making will be key to Galapagos' strategy going forward.
