UK and USA-based clinical-stage biotech Orchard Therapeutics today announces the appointment of Mark Rothera as president and chief executive.

Mr Rothera brings 28 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry including driving the transition of multiple emerging biotechnology companies from R&D stage to commercialization. During his career, he has focused on bringing novel therapies to market for patients with rare diseases, and has launched seven orphan drugs.

Until recently Mr Rothera served as chief commercial officer of PTC Therapeutics, where he helped transition the company from a privately funded, USA-based R&D biotech to a public, commercial stage company with a 47 country commercialization footprint. This he achieved by building a global commercialization capability and successfully launching two rare disease therapies.
