Executive Summary

John Purpura will join as executive vice-president of regulatory affairs and quality assurance on November 16.

Before joining Delcath, Mr Frigon was general manager of Sterigenics International; Mr Gago was vice-president of international oncology surgery sales at AngioDynamics; and Mr Purpura was most recently head of regulatory affairs, North and Latin America, at E-Z-EM.
