Quang Pham has served as our Chief Executive Officer since he formed the Company. He previously served as Chairman & CEO of Espero BioPharma, Inc., a company he also founded and the previous sponsor of the tecarfarin IND. He then served as a consultant to HESP LLC, the assignee for Espero to Horizon Technology Finance. Previously, Mr. Pham was a partner with D+R LATHIAN, LLC, a life sciences multichannel marketing agency. Prior to joining D+R LATHIAN, he founded and served as Chairman and CEO of Lathian Systems, Inc., a digital and database marketing company serving the pharmaceutical industry until 2012 when the company was acquired by D&R Communications, LLC.

We believe Mr. Pham is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors because of his significant business, mergers and acquisitions, and fundraising experience, numerous interactions with the FDA, continuous six-year history with tecarfarin development, and his extensive knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry and our competitors.
