NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Announces Changes to Its Board of Directors

NovaBay® Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: NBY), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing high-quality, scientifically formulated products for the eyecare and skincare markets, announces the appointments of Audrey Kunin, M.D. and Julie Garlikov to the NovaBay Board of Directors. Dr. Kunin is a recognized leader in the skincare product industry and has served as NovaBay’s Chief Product Officer since its acquisition in November 2021 of DERMAdoctor, LLC, a company she cofounded. Ms. Garlikov brings to NovaBay more than 25 years of marketing experience, including deep expertise in health, beauty, eyecare and dermatology products.

NovaBay also announces the resignation of Zhang Xinzhou (Paul) Li as a director. His vacancy is being filled by Yongxiang (Sean) Zheng. All changes to the Board of Directors are effective immediately and result in an increase to the size of NovaBay’s Board from six to eight members.

“This is an exciting, transformational time at NovaBay with the recent addition of DERMAdoctor and our planned further expansion into the large, lucrative OTC eyecare and skincare markets. We are delighted to welcome professionals to our Board who bring highly relevant experience and records of success,” said Paul E. Freiman, Board Chairman. “In less than two months Audrey has proven her leadership skills and industry knowledge, and is instrumental to our new product strategy and the development of innovative products for both the skincare and eyecare markets. We look forward to calling upon Julie’s expertise and fresh ideas, particularly in formulating effective digital and social media strategies to create brand awareness and demand generation for our products.

“Sean has international experience in the medical device arena and was recommended to fill our Board vacancy by several of our large ex-US stockholders,” he added. “The Board would like to thank Paul for his valuable contributions over his nearly seven years of service as a director.”

“We have created a new NovaBay with the acquisition of DERMAdoctor with revenues diversified across the eyecare and skincare markets and a path toward profitability,” said Justin Hall, NovaBay CEO. “With the addition of our new directors, our Board better reflects our new direction with added industry and marketing expertise that we expect will be highly valuable to our success.”
