$SPRO just went back and looked -- Esther is not a public company biotech CEO imo -- she spent ~20 years covering biotech as sell-side analyst.
Hired as
$FULC CFO in January 2022 --- FULC founder came back in January 2023, then FULC raised
$125 million few weeks later, then their sickle cell drug candidate got bad news in Feb 2023 and the stock got crushed -- Esther resigns from FULC in April 2023 (pushed out by founder/Board?).
Hired as SPRO CFO in November 2023 -- takes interim then permanent title after Ankit/Shay have their problems in 2024/2025.
Esther is a care-taker CEO --- if anything happens with "SPRO 2.0" and selling tebi and reorienting SPRO into a growth biotech again -- it will be with a new CEO running the show.
I'm pretty certain of that.
