He stepped down from his role on June 24 and will stay on until August 26 to support with the transition. Chris has played a leading role in the success and growth of Argenta, providing skilful oversight to key projects including the transition of ownership to KKR and the acquisition of Klifovet.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPaul Fry has extensive financial experience across several industries including biotech, pharmaceuticals, and telecommunications. Prior to joining Argenta, he was Chief Financial Officer of Vectura Group plc, an industry-leading inhaled drug delivery specialist which was listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange until 2021.

He also served as Director of Global Finance Operations at Vodafone plc and spent more than 25 years at GSK, where he held several senior leadership roles.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWill Downie, CEO of Argenta, said: \u201cI am delighted to welcome Paul to Argenta. His proven track record and extensive experience, combined with his strategic financial expertise and outstanding leadership qualities, will have a significant impact on the company. I am excited to partner with Paul to help drive long-term growth and scale for the organization.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Chris O\u2019Donnell for his commitment, partnership, and financial stewardship in the time we have worked together. Chris has helped to lay the solid foundation that supports the company&#8217;s ambitious strategy.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPaul Fry said: \u201cIt is an exciting time to enter the animal health industry and I am delighted to be joining Argenta. The company has a unique offering, strong track record and the potential for significant growth for many years to come. I feel privileged to be able to contribute to this and to have the opportunity to serve Argenta\u2019s customers, team members and shareholders.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPaul holds a degree from Oxford University and is a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accounts.
