Announced July 25, Dr. Reshma Kewalramani will be promoted to president and CEO of Vertex Pharmaceuticals. She is currently the chief medical officer for the company and was previously a practicing nephrologist who earned her medical doctorate at Boston University and trained at Bigham & Women’s Hospital.

Dr. Kewalramani will be the first woman to run a large biotechnology firm. Vortex’s share price “rose 360% and its sales doubled to $3 billion annually” under the previous CEO, largely due the company’s pharmaceuticals used to treat cystic fibrosis.
