Amarin announces senior management changes
Connecticut firm appoints ceo, president and principal accountant
Zakrzewski has more than 20 years of experience, including holding the position of chief operating officer of Reliant Pharmaceuticals when Omacor/Lovaza was developed and acquired in 2007 by GlaxoSmithKline. He was most recently chief executive of Xcellerex, a Massachusetts-based biotechnology company. Although he currently serves on the boards of directors and in other advisory roles for various companies, Amarin is his primary business commitment.
Additionally, John Thero has been promoted to Amarin’s president. Since November 2009, he has been the company’s chief financial officer.
Prior to joining Amarin, Thero was chief financial officer at ViaCell, where he helped guide the sale of the company, and Abiomed, during its transition from a development-stage company into a commercial entity.
Colin Stewart, who was Amarin’s president and ceo, resigned last month to address personal matters.
In connection with these changes, Frederick Ahlholm, vice president finance, has become the company’s principal accounting officer.

But a significant share of emissions still hides outside the company’s direct control – yet in plain sight. Now, regulators and investors are turning their focus beyond the factory gates, deep into the value chain.
