Argenta Appoints Will Downie as Chief Executive Officer

Argenta today announced that the company’s Board of Directors has appointed Will Downie as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Will Downie succeeds interim CEO Stephen Sibson, who will resume his role as Argenta’s Global Head of Manufacturing.

“I am delighted to have accepted the role of CEO of Argenta and to have the opportunity to be part of the world’s only integrated CRO/CDMO animal health company. I am particularly excited about helping the organization to build on its ‘Molecule to Market’ strategy, as well as accelerating innovation to drive sustained business growth for the benefit of Argenta’s customers, employees, and shareholders,” said Will Downie.

Will has extensive leadership experience in the healthcare industry.

“We are very pleased that Will has accepted the position of Argenta’s new CEO. He has highly relevant experience that we believe will add great value to the business, as well as a demonstrated ability in building successful organisations. We are confident that he will be a force in developing and driving Argenta forward at what is an exciting time in the animal health industry. The Board wants to offer their sincere thanks to Stephen Sibson for his committed leadership during his time as interim CEO while we completed the search process,” said George Gunn, Chairman of the Board.
