Idorsia’s Jean-Paul Clozel retires as CEO, plots next steps; CRISPR Therapeutics nabs CMO from Sanofi

Jean-Paul Clozel is ready to pass the torch at his Acte­lion fol­low-up Idor­sia, but he doesn’t want to walk away from the com­pa­ny al­to­geth­er.

Clozel will re­tire as CEO on June 13, and Idor­sia has tapped his long­time lieu­tenant An­dré Muller to re­place him. The 69-year-old Clozel will now stand for elec­tion as chair­man, while Math­ieu Si­mon moves in­to the vice chair­man post.

The changes on the board don’t stop there. Jörn Aldag, Fe­lix Ehrat and Pe­ter Kel­logg are step­ping down, and Idor­sia has nom­i­nat­ed ex-Gala­pa­gos pres­i­dent Bart Fil­ius.
