Kendall, currently the Chief Operating Officer, will oversee the execution of the Company's growth strategy. "I am grateful for the confidence that our Board has placed in me, and look forward to leading the Company in the next phase of its evolution. Mark and I have worked closely together since I joined MonoSol Rx in 2006, and we look forward to continuing our close collaboration."
