Analysis · IMA · Life Sciences
Filling the vacancy left by the prior finance head's resignation in June, ImageneBio has appointed Yanina Grant-Huerta as CFO. She brings experience from Atara Biotherapeutics and Amgen, and her compensation package includes a $450,000 salary, a 40% bonus target, and equity grants of 65,000 RSUs and 95,000 options. At the same time, Chief Medical Officer Benjamin Porter-Brown will move to a consulting role, scaling back his day-to-day involvement. These back-to-back leadership changes follow a period of significant dilution and a recent $30 million private placement, raising questions about stability and strategic direction.
