Telesis Bio Appoints William J. Kullback Chief Financial Officer

By: via GlobeNewswire

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telesis Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: TBIO), a leader in automated multi-omic and synthetic biology solutions, has named William J. Kullback as its Chief Financial Officer, effective August 28, 2023. As CFO, Kullback will be responsible for the Company's financial planning and analysis, accounting, internal audit, tax, and treasury functions.

“Bill’s deep industry knowledge, operational expertise, and extensive financial experience make him ideally positioned to help lead us through the next phase of the Company’s growth,” said Todd R. Nelson, PhD, CEO, and founder of Telesis Bio. “We are thrilled to welcome Bill to our team and excited to have another leader who brings both a strategic and operational mindset to creating shareholder value as we deliver researchers the tools they need to rapidly and securely design, code, and create synthetic DNA and RNA.”

With more than twenty-eight years of experience as a Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kullback has held a broad range of financial management and operational roles, primarily in mid-sized to large corporations, including multiple publicly held life-science companies.

Prior to joining Telesis Bio, Mr. Kullback served for five plus years as CFO of BioLegend, Inc., a worldwide provider of life science antibodies and reagents, where he led the company's September 2021 sale to NYSE listed Revvity (formerly PerkinElmer) for $5.25 billion, the largest acquisition in PerkinElmer's history.   

Before joining BioLegend in 2017, Mr. Kullback served as Chief Financial Officer of Lombard Medical, Inc., a medical device company, from 2014 to 2017, prior to its acquisition by MicroPort Scientific Corporation, a Shanghai, China based medical device group. Similar CFO appointments at other medical device and technology companies have resulted in a host of successful transactions involving debt, M&A buy-side, M&A sell-side, and public offerings.

Mr. Kullback earned both his MBA and bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
