CAMBRIDGE, MA: Biotechnology company Moderna has hired Ray Jordan as chief corporate affairs officer.
Jordan is starting in the position on Monday, reporting to CEO Stéphane Bancel. Jordan will also be a member of Moderna’s executive committee, according to a statement from the company. He has been consulting for Moderna for the last four months.

Early last year, Amgen named Judy Gawlik Brown as SVP of corporate affairs to replace Jordan.
