Johnson was previously the Commercial Director at the Centre for Process Innovation which is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult.

Matthew Durdy, Chief Executive Officer, Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult, said: “Nick is a wonderful addition to our leadership team. He brings over 25 years of experience in delivering pharmaceutical and commercial value, on top of the know-how of having worked for another highly impactful Catapult with strong focus on innovation and partnerships.
