Oxford Nanopore is entering an important phase of scaling, where we aim to combine breakthrough innovation with the maturing of our products and operations, so that we can deliver maximum impact for our users and their communities.
To help drive this journey, we’re strengthening our leadership team. We are pleased to share three senior appointments that will play a central role in how we grow and operate:
Andrew Watson will join as Chief Information Officer on 15 June, providing leadership across our information systems, digital transformation, machine learning and product software development. This will be critical as we deepen our use of machine learning in innovation, invest further in user experience, and drive operational efficiency at scale.
Davide Manissero MD will join as Chief Medical Officer in August, reflecting our increasing commitment to bringing rapid, information-rich omics to benefit clinical practice. He will lead our regulatory, quality, medical affairs and evidence generation functions to shape how we develop and deliver for clinical settings, deepening our engagement with clinicians and healthcare systems worldwide.
Tina St Leger joins us as Chief People Officer in June. She will lead how we continue to build organisational capability at scale: hiring, developing and connecting the people needed to sustain a high-performing, global company.
We’re excited to welcome Tina, Andrew and Davide to Oxford Nanopore.
