WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ImmunoGen, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMGN), a leader in the expanding field of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of cancer, today announced that Susan Altschuller, PhD, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), is on leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and will not continue employment with ImmunoGen at the conclusion of her leave. Dr. Altschuller's leave is unrelated to the Company's financial or business performance.
Renee Lentini, Vice President of Finance and Chief Accounting Officer, has been appointed interim CFO while the Company engages in a search for Dr. Altschuller's permanent replacement. Since joining ImmunoGen in 2004, Ms. Lentini has held positions of increasing responsibility with the Company's finance organization, including oversight for global accounting, tax, and treasury.
"On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank Susan for her contributions to the company and wish her the best. We have a strong finance team in place to support the business and will move quickly to initiate a search for a new CFO," said Mark Enyedy, ImmunoGen's President and Chief Executive Officer. "With the recent FDA approval of ELAHERE™ (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx) for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, our top priority is executing the US launch with excellence and we look forward to a promising year ahead as we expand upon a strong start in the market and advance our pipeline of novel ADCs."
