NovaBay® Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: NBY) announces
the appointment of Andrew D. Jones as Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer, effective May 1, 2020. Mr. Jones brings to NovaBay more

these positions on an interim basis in April 2020 and will consult
to NovaBay to support a smooth transition.
“We are delighted to secure a well-qualified professional to
fill our executive finance position on a permanent basis and to do
so very quickly,” said Justin Hall, NovaBay CEO. “Andrew has served
every critical function in finance and accounting from high-level
strategic planning and financial modeling, budgeting and cash
management, to technical accounting, audit and tax compliance, and
managing daily accounting operations. The breadth of his finance
and accounting experience, his background in the life sciences
industry and relevant public company accounting expertise make him
an excellent fit.”
“Serving as NovaBay’s CFO will allow me to use my entire
skillset in an executive capacity in a dynamic environment,” said
Mr. Jones. “I’m committed to working closely with the NovaBay team
to ensure financial accountability and prudence, and to achieve our
goals for growth and business success.”
Mr. Jones most recently served as an independent consultant,
helping companies to meet their accounting and finance
requirements. He previously served as Vice President, Finance of
MyoScience, Inc., a commercial-stage medical device company,
through its acquisition by Pacira BioSciences in August 2019. In
this position, he was responsible for senior management and
Board-level reporting, and overseeing all accounting and finance
functions, including strategic planning and business development
decisions that resulted in revenue growth and gross margin
improvements. Before that, Mr. Jones was Senior Director of Finance
and Controller of Armetheon, Inc., a late-stage drug development
company, and Corporate Controller of Asante Solutions, Inc., a
medical device company acquired by Bigfoot Biomedical, Inc., and
