Pete Meyers is leaving Motif Bio and has agreed to transition the CFO responsibilities to Mr. Dickey over the course of the next several weeks.

Rob’s proven leadership and strategic skills will be a tremendous addition to the team. I am immensely grateful to Pete Meyers for his tireless dedication and hard work during 2016, culminating in a successful NASDAQ IPO and raise of $25 million. I wish him well in his future endeavours.”
