HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2024 / CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:CNSP) ("CNS" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers in the brain and central nervous system, today announced it has appointed Amy Mahery to its Board of Directors, effective upon completion of a financing.

Ms. Mahery, who currently serves as the Chief Commercial Officer of Roivant Sciences, a $9 Billion market cap biopharmaceutical company, is a well-established biopharmaceutical industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience and commercial expertise working with large and small companies in common and rare conditions, and across multiple therapeutic areas. Over the course of her distinguished career, she has held diverse global and U.S. commercial leadership roles spanning sales, marketing, and market access where she has been involved in the commercialization and launch of drugs in varied therapeutic areas including oncology, neurology, and immunology. During her tenures at market-leading companies she has been responsible for developing high-impact commercial strategies that delivered profitable growth across multibillion-dollar product portfolios on a global scale. Additionally, in her work at emerging biopharma companies, she has built commercial capabilities from the startup phase to enable the commercialization of first-in-class and best-in-class assets.

Faith L. Charles, Chair of the CNS Pharmaceuticals Board of Directors commented, "We are incredibly pleased to welcome Amy to the Board. She is a proven commercial leader with a wealth of knowledge and expertise amassed over the course of her 20+ years in the industry. As the Company continues to advance Berubicin toward completion of its global potentially pivotal clinical trial and potential regulatory approval, her guidance, insight and vast pharma industry network will truly be invaluable. We remain committed to serving GBM patients in desperate need of a treatment, and look forward to leveraging Amy's extensive experience and commercial leadership to assist in positioning the Company for success."

"I am a strong supporter of innovation that brings value to patients, companies, and society. Never is that value more evident than it is in areas of high unmet need, such as glioblastoma multiforme. I have been intrigued by the Company's pivotal trial design for Berubicin and was further compelled by the successful outcome from the recent interim analysis, the rapid pace of enrollment, and strong management team. I believe Berubicin represents an opportunity to provide a solution for patients with this devastating disease. I look forward to working closely with the Company to build momentum toward potential approval of Berubicin," added Ms. Mahery.

Most notably, she served as CCO of Telavant from inception through its sale to Roche for $7.1 Billion.

Most recently, she served as Senior Vice President and Head of Global Franchise, Neurology and Immunology (N&I) at EMD Serono where she developed and led the implementation of the end-to-end franchise strategy and managed the global P&L for the N&I portfolio.
