"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with David again," said Dr. Helen Torley, President and Chief Executive Officer. "His deep understanding of Halozyme, combined with his exceptional capital markets expertise, investor expertise and credibility, and his longstanding record of financial leadership, makes him an invaluable partner as we advance our strategic priorities. David has made a lasting impact on Halozyme's evolution, and we are fortunate to welcome him back into a role where his experience and leadership will be immediately impactful."
The company's executive search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer is well underway and progressing. Halozyme has engaged a leading executive search firm to identify candidates who bring the combination of capital markets expertise and strategy. Mr. Ramsay will remain in the role until a permanent CFO is appointed.
Mr. Ramsay holds a B.S. in business administration from the University of California, Berkeley and an M.B.A. with a dual major in finance and strategic management from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
