Moderna names Juan Andres as chief operating officer

Moderna has appointed Juan Andres as the new chief operating officer, effective October 5. Andres previously served as chief technical operations and quality officer from 2018 to 2022, and later as president of strategic partnerships and enterprise expansion until his retirement in 2023. During his time at Moderna, he played a key role in expanding the company's manufacturing network to support the production of their COVID-19 vaccine.

The new position reflects the company's growth and diversification, as Moderna prepares for the potential launch of intismeran autogene, following positive Phase 3 results and advancing its oncology portfolio. Andres will report to CEO Stéphane Bancel and serve on the company's executive committee, working across the organization on focus, prioritization, and execution while leading the manufacturing organization.
