Director

Todd Simpson joined our Board in March 2025. Mr. Simpson has more than 40 years of experience in chief financial officer (CFO) roles at multiple biopharmaceutical companies and in public accounting. Most recently he served as CFO at Seagen, Inc. through its acquisition in 2023. As Seagen’s CFO for 18 years, Mr. Simpson played an important role in the development, launch, and commercialization of four oncology medicines across more than a dozen labeled indications in the United States. He was instrumental in Seagen’s international expansion, leading to the commercialization of three medicines in the Americas and Europe. Mr. Simpson led a range of functions including global finance, strategic planning, tax, treasury, corporate real estate, facilities, investor relations, corporate communications and information technologies, among others. Prior to joining Seagen, he served in executive roles at Targeted Genetics, Aastrom Biosciences and Telios Pharmaceuticals. Mr. Simpson currently serves on the board of directors of Shape Therapeutics, a privately held biotechnology company, and he previously served on the boards of directors of Neoleukin Therapeutics, Aquinox Pharmaceuticals, and Life Science Washington (formerly Washington Biotech and Biomedical Association). Mr. Simpson is a certified public accountant (inactive), and early in his career he practiced public accounting with Ernst & Young LLP for nearly a decade. He received a B.S. in accounting and computer science from Oregon State University. We believe Mr. Simpson’s experience in biotechnology company leadership and finance qualify him to serve on our Board.
