Mr. Disbrow was most recently the Vice President of Commercial Operations at Arbor Pharmaceuticals. He joined Arbor in 2007 as the company's second full time employee and led the company's commercial efforts from inception to $127 million in annual sales in 2011 at which time the company was sold to an investor group. Since the company's acquisition, Josh remained with Arbor and oversaw the growth of the company's commercial infrastructure to over 150 people in sales, marketing, and other commercial functions.

Mr. Disbrow has spent 17 years in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and medical device industries and has held positions of increasing responsibility in sales, marketing, sales management, commercial operations, and commercial strategy.
