(Nasdaq: HROW), an ophthalmic-focused healthcare company, today announced the appointments of Perry J. Sternberg and Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. to the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately. The Company also announced that Robert J. Kammer has resigned from Harrow Health’s Board of Directors, effective immediately.

Baum, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Harrow Health. “Perry’s repeated commercial success as a senior executive at multiple leading eyecare companies, specifically his expertise in developing and implementing strategic marketing and tactical sales plans that drive revenue growth of ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, will be of great value to Harrow as we expand our platform to include more FDA‑approved products, such as AMP-100, which, if approved, we expect to launch within the next 12 months. Likewise, Dr. Makary’s extensive experience as a surgeon, corporate advisor, and policy thought leader, and his research into vulnerable populations and access to healthcare, align with our mission to make medicines accessible and affordable for all Americans. We look forward to the valuable perspectives, creative and strategic thinking, and strong governance that each will contribute as we continue to advance our twin goals of making Harrow Health a leading U.S. eyecare company and building value for Harrow’s shareholders. “I also want to thank Bob for his tremendous contributions – over the last decade – which helped make Harrow Health what it is today. As a founding shareholder of the Company, Bob was instrumental in raising our first round of financing, and he has been my partner ever since, serving on the Harrow Board and helping to chart our path forward – through many good times and, of course, through the challenges we faced while building our business. I am forever grateful for his guidance and support, and on behalf of the Harrow Health family, wish Bob only the very best in the future.” Perry Sternberg serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Corium, Inc., a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company leading the development and commercialization of novel central nervous system (CNS) therapies.
