Bethesda, Maryland Nov 15, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NRBO) is a publicly traded, clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing multimodal disease-modifying therapies for viral, neuropathic, and neurodegenerative diseases. NRBO’s stock had been in a “free fall” with stock prices down by approximately -98% over the last 12 months and a stock score rating of 10 out of 100 by InvestorsObserver’s ranking system. In December 2021, Gil Price became the CEO of NRBO with a mission to completely turn around NRBO. Gil Price is also the Center for Advancing Innovation’s (CAI) CAI's long-standing board of directors member.
Dr. Price took a highly pragmatic approach, starting with an assessment of NRBO’s assets. Next, was an assessment of the personnel. The third item in Gil’s turnaround roadmap was to assess the P&L.
To create the foundation for the new face of NRBO, new assets, and capital was required. In less than 12 months, Gil Price was able to close on $32 million and finalized the licensing of two assets. NRBO now has i) a new team; ii) new assets; iii) access to $32 million in capital and overall, a new culture - all of which create the foundation and scaffolding for NRBO to grow.
Dr. Price said, “The secret sauce is to building a good team. A good team is what ultimately creates the long-term potential.” Rosemarie Truman said, "Gil is an industry mover and shaker; he makes miracles happen given the empathy and humility he applies to personal and professional engagements and in guiding an organization. Gil applies both awareness to a situation and injects some light-heartedness to make people feel comfortable providing their perspectives. What a magnificent accomplishment for Gil Price and his team, BRAVO!” Rosemarie added, “I’m proud and honored to have had Gil on my board; he’s not just well-balanced in his advice; he puts a pinch of poise and charm into whatever he does, again, making everyone feel as if their voice is heard.”
