Hansa Biopharma in Search for New CFO Following Donato Spota’s Decision to Step Down

Hansa Biopharma AB has announced the resignation of Chief Financial Officer Donato Spota, effective February 28, 2024. The company has initiated the search for a successor to Spota, recognizing his pivotal role in guiding Hansa through a period of significant growth and transformation.

Hansa is publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker symbol HNSA. Spota anticipates redirecting more time to his family post-departure while maintaining an interest in monitoring Hansa’s continued advancements within the biopharmaceutical industry.

During his tenure, Spota has been instrumental in steering Hansa’s evolution into a well-integrated commercial entity, adept at maneuvering complex financial landscapes. Søren Tulstrup, President and CEO, commended Spota’s crucial contributions over the past five years, overseeing the company’s financial strategies and transactions. Spota played a vital role as Hansa expanded its international presence, establishing a strong foothold across Europe and the U.S.

Reflecting on his tenure, Spota emphasized his pride in contributing to Hansa’s groundbreaking work in developing treatments for rare immunological diseases. His efforts were part of the company’s broader initiative, harnessing their proprietary IgG-cleaving enzyme technology platform. This innovative approach has yielded first-in-class therapies facilitating kidney transplants for highly sensitized patients, addressing challenges in transplantation, autoimmune diseases, gene therapy, and cancer treatments.
