(NASDAQ:BLI) ("Berkeley Lights" or the "Company") a leader in digital cell biology, today announced it has appointed Dr. Siddhartha Kadia as its new chief executive officer (CEO), effective immediately. Dr. Kadia succeeds Eric D. Hobbs, Ph.D., as part of the previously announced leadership transition. Dr. Kadia will remain a member of the Berkeley Lights Board of Directors.

    Dr. Kadia is an accomplished executive, bringing more than two decades of relevant industry and leadership experience as well as significant expertise in globally commercializing disruptive life science technologies and services.

    "Siddhartha is an experienced life science executive exceptionally well positioned to lead our company and enhance shareholder value," said Gregory T. Lucier, chairperson of Berkeley Lights' Board of Directors. "Following a comprehensive and thoughtful search, the Board determined that Siddhartha's deep knowledge of the biology market, his years of global leadership and operational expertise, and his proven ability to grow a services-oriented business makes him the right leader to drive Berkeley Lights' next phase of growth and profitability. Having joined Berkeley Lights' Board last year, Siddhartha is ready to hit the ground running and we expect a seamless transition."

    "I am honored to lead the talented Berkeley Lights team," said Dr. Kadia. "Berkeley Lights is already revolutionizing how scientists can access primary cell biology to make extraordinary discoveries and I look forward to leveraging my experience leading both life sciences tools and services businesses as we build on the Company's momentum. I am confident that together we can fully unlock the enormous potential of our platform across applications and markets to deliver meaningful value for both our customers and shareholders."

    As previously announced, Dr. Hobbs will transition from his role as chief executive officer and member of the Board to president of the Antibody Therapeutics business. In his new role, Dr. Hobbs will focus on growing the Company's largest business line while also leveraging his understanding of Berkeley Lights' technology, customers, and future R&D roadmap to help ensure successful business continuity and build on the Company's momentum.

    Mr. Lucier continued, "Under Eric's leadership, Berkeley Lights has built a deep and experienced team that has worked together to establish a strong foundation for future growth, profitability, and shareholder value creation. We're pleased that Eric will continue to play a key role in Berkeley Lights efforts to enable extraordinary scientific breakthroughs as we help our customers rapidly develop antibody therapeutics when every day matters."

    CFO Transition

    Berkeley Lights also announced today that Kurt Wood will be leaving the Company to pursue his expressed interest in a role outside of the biotech industry. He will continue to serve as chief financial officer (CFO) until April 1, 2022, and remain with the Company in an advisory capacity through April 30, 2022, to assist with the transition. The Company will initiate a search for a new CFO.

    Mr. Lucier continued, "I want to thank Kurt for his contributions to Berkeley Lights as a key member of the management team, including strengthening our financial foundation and bolstering our internal finance team with a deep bench of talent. We wish him the best in his next endeavor."
