“Sébastien will be invaluable to DBV in his role as Chief Financial Officer given his deep understanding of our business and his role in driving our execution, as well as his tenure as Deputy Chief Financial Officer,” said Daniel Tassé, DBV’s Chief Executive Officer. “He has demonstrated experience in leading the Company through periods of transition, and we believe his proven acumen will serve him well in this new capacity.”

“On behalf of the entire organization, I would like to thank Ramzi and Kevin for their significant contributions to DBV,” said Mr. Tassé. “Ramzi strengthened the DBV balance sheet in preparation for potential commercial launch and will leave the Company in a strong cash and financial position.
