Allurion Announces the Appointment of Eli Lilly Veteran, Keith Johns, to Its Board of Directors
Mr. Johns has worked over two decades bringing leading GLP-1 weight loss drugs and other metabolic drugs to market
NATICK, Mass. – Sep. 3, 2024 – Allurion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ALUR), a company dedicated to ending obesity, today announced the appointment of Keith Johns to its Board of Directors effective September 2, 2024.
"We are extremely excited to welcome Keith to the Allurion Board of Directors as we look to capitalize on the significant opportunity in front of us within the fast-growing obesity management space," said Dr. Shantanu Gaur, Allurion’s Founder and CEO. “I believe having Keith as a sounding board as we leverage the opportunities created by GLP-1s will be a competitive advantage.”
Omar Ishrak, Allurion’s Co-Chairman and former Chairman and CEO of Medtronic, added: “Keith is a fantastic addition and brings a new point of view to our Board. His more than two decades at Eli Lilly provide him with a unique perspective on the obesity market, specifically on new product launches, reimbursement dynamics, and strategic partnerships.”
Over nearly 25 years at Eli Lilly, Mr. Johns held many senior leadership positions, most recently as head of Global Marketing and Alliance Management for Lilly’s Diabetes and Obesity Business Unit. After retiring from Eli Lilly, Mr. Johns became the Chief Operating Officer at Adipo Therapeutics, a company on the cutting edge of harnessing the power of brown adipose tissue to advance the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders.
“I am thrilled to join Allurion’s Board of Directors at this exciting time, not only in Allurion’s journey to become a leading provider of weight loss therapies but also in the obesity management space generally, which continues to show explosive growth and opportunity due to the significant unmet needs of both people with obesity and health care providers,” said Mr. Johns.
