In this role, Ms. Siegel will lead Odyssey’s legal, compliance, governance, and risk management functions, serving as a strategic partner to the executive team and Board of Directors. She will oversee corporate governance and compliance, securities, intellectual property, contractual and transactional matters as the company continues to advance its growing portfolio of immunology programs.

“Jolie’s appointment comes at an important stage in Odyssey’s development,” said Gary D. Glick, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of Odyssey Therapeutics. “As our portfolio advances and the company evaluates strategic opportunities, her experience advising biotechnology companies through growth and transactions will be a significant asset.

“I am excited to join Odyssey because of its mission to advance therapies for patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases—conditions that can be profoundly disruptive to patients and families,” said Ms. Siegel. “That mission is deeply personal to me, having seen the impact of diseases like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis on close friends and their families. I’m excited to work with the Odyssey team and Board of Directors to help build a sustainable company capable of delivering long-term impact for patients.”
