Two New Members Added to 908 Devices Board

908 Devices Inc. has appointed Jeff George and Fenel Eloi to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.

“We are delighted to welcome Jeff and Fenel to 908 Devices’ Board of Directors. Jeff brings extensive experience in executive roles in the pharmaceutical market on a global scale, and Fenel has extensive finance and operational experience successfully scaling companies through high growth periods,” said Kevin Hrusovsky, board chairman.
 
George brings more than two decades of global healthcare and corporate leadership experience across North America, Europe, and emerging markets. He served as the global division head and CEO of two $10 billion divisions of Novartis, Sandoz, and Alcon between 2008 and 2016, where in parallel he served on the Novartis Group executive committee. He also serves on the board of directors of Amneal Pharmaceutical, Dorian Therapeutics, and Wishbone Medical.

“I am honored to join the Board of Directors for 908 Devices, an innovative, high-growth company democratizing laboratory mass spectrometry with simple handheld and desktop devices which address critical-to-life applications,” said George. “I look forward to partnering with the Company’s talented leadership team as they continue to further develop their technology by reducing size and increasing analyte panels and capabilities to simplify the sample to answer process for customers.”
 
Eloi is a highly seasoned life science executive experienced in leading the transformation of small and mid-size companies to large operating global organizations. Eloi served as the chief financial officer and then chief operating officer at Cell Signaling Technology, a bio reagents company, where he provided leadership in the transformation of the company to a global operation, between 2006 and 2018. He also serves on the board of directors of MitoTherapeutix, a privately held drug development biotech company.
  
“I’m very excited for the opportunity to support 908 Devices in scaling up their operations as they make mass spec available to the masses,” said Eloi. “As we look to the future, I am confident that they are just scratching the surface as to what their proprietary platform can do and at its ultimate market potential.”
 
Prof. J. Michael Ramsey and Sharon Kedar have chosen not to stand for re-election. Ramsey has been a director of 908 Devices since 2012 and Kedar since 2019. Both will continue to serve on the board until the completion of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in June, at which time George and Eloi are expected to stand for re-election to the board by the company’s stockholders.
 
“I echo Kevin Hrusovsky’s excitement for Jeff and Fenel joining our Board of Directors. I also want to personally thank both Mike and Sharon for the many contributions they have made,” said Kevin J. Knopp, CEO of 908 Devices. “From the beginning, Mike’s technical acumen has guided our pursuits. He has been a true partner and I look forward to his continuing contributions on our Scientific Advisory Board where he will serve as co-chair with our CTO, Dr. Christopher D. Brown. I am grateful to our board for their guidance and partnership. Over the coming months, we will continue to evaluate additional board candidates to further strengthen our board and add increased diversity.”
