Mr McHarrie is a company director and adviser in the health and life sciences sectors with over 30 years' experience. He was formerly with Telethon Kids Institute in Perth, Western Australia, for 15 years, where his roles included Chief Financial Officer, Director of Operations and Director of Strategic Projects. Prior to joining Telethon Kids, Mr McHarrie was a Senior Manager at Deloitte in London before moving to Rothschild Asset Management as Assistant Director of the Bioscience Unit, a life sciences private equity group investing in early-stage biotechnology and healthcare companies. Outside his role at Adherium, he is currently an advisor to BioScience Managers (manager of a shareholder in Adherium). Mr McHarrie was previously a director at AusCann Group Holdings Ltd and Pharmamark Nutrition Pty Ltd. As noted, as an advisor to BioScience Managers, Mr McHarrie has an association with a shareholder of the Company. The board of directors is of the opinion that this does not compromise Mr McHarrie's independence as to the best of the board's knowledge he is not involved in decision making by BioScience Managers and the value of the advisory services provided is not material. He is chair of Risk Committee.
