Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Inc. has announced the resignation of its Chief Financial Officer, Bo Kruse, who has been with the company since its inception in April 2015. The company has initiated the search for a successor to Mr. Kruse, who will stay in the role until a replacement is found and will then continue as a non-executive employee until July 31, 2024, to ensure a smooth transition.

Under Mr. Kruse's leadership, Y-mAbs has achieved significant financial milestones, leaving the company in a strong position for future growth. The company's President and CEO, Michael Rossi, expressed gratitude for Mr. Kruse's dedication and responsible capital management during the company's growth journey.

Thomas Gad, the founder, vice-chairman of the board of directors, and chief business officer, also acknowledged Mr. Kruse's instrumental role in building Y-mAbs into a financially independent commercial-stage company.

Mr. Kruse expressed confidence in Y-mAbs' future plans, particularly regarding the advancement of its novel pretargeted radioimmunotherapy technology platform and programs through clinical development. He mentioned that it has been an honor and privilege to serve as the company's CFO and that he looks forward to following the company’s success.

Y-mAbs Therapeutics focuses on the development and commercialization of novel radioimmunotherapy and antibody-based therapeutic cancer products.
