March 31, 2025, London, UK – OPEN Health Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Matt D’Auria as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Based in the US, Matt brings more than 25 years of experience in medical affairs and scientific commercialization to his new role, where he will focus on refining and deploying an innovation and growth strategy.
