(NASDAQ: BFRG; BFRGW) ("BullFrog AI" or the "Company"), a technology-enabled drug development company using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to enable the successful development of pharmaceuticals and biologics, today announced the appointment of Josh Blacher as its Chief Financial Officer $(CFO.AU)$, effective immediately.

His wisdom, humility, and steadfast commitment to our mission will be deeply missed," said Vin Singh, CEO of BullFrog AI. "At the same time, we are grateful to welcome Josh to our team at this pivotal moment. Josh's extensive experience and leadership in financial strategy and corporate governance will be invaluable as we carry forward Dane's legacy and advance our mission to revolutionize drug development."
Mr. Blacher, with more than two decades of experience in strategic finance and corporate development for life science and biotech companies, brings to BullFrog AI a proven track record in financial stewardship, capital raising, operations and profitability, and deal making. He has successfully overseen SEC reporting and investor relations for both private and publicly traded companies. Most recently, he has served as CFO for Predictive Oncology, Rampart Bioscience, Excision BioTherapeutics, and has previously held senior roles at Teva Pharmaceuticals, among others. Mr. Blacher earned his BA in Economics from Yeshiva University and an MBA in Finance from Columbia Business School.
In assuming the role of CFO, Mr. Blacher will build on the foundation laid by Mr. Saglio, focusing on enhancing the Company's balance sheet strength, financial operations and supporting its strategic initiatives.
