Biopharmaceutical company Forum Pharmaceuticals, which develops medicines for brain diseases, has hired Todd Shegog as senior VP and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Shegog was previously senior VP and CFO of Millenium Pharmaceuticals during the time it was bought by Takeda in 2008.
Working at Millenium from 1998 to 2014, Shegog helped lead the approval and launch of its oncology product, Velcade, and oversaw the company’s transition from a genomics business to a full-scale drug developer.
Forum’s CEO Deborah Dunsire said she welcomed Shegog’s financial expertise at a time when the company is conducting Phase 3 clinical trials for encenicline in schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease, plus earlier-stage studies for dementia.
