In a move to bolster its executive team, Cadrenal Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of tecarfarin, a novel Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA), announced the appointment of Jeff Cole to the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer. However, despite this strategic maneuver, the company faced a significant decline in its stock value.
Mr. Cole brings with him over 25 years of extensive experience in global pharmaceutical manufacturing, commercial operations, finance, and corporate development. His impressive track record includes senior executive roles at prominent companies such as Espero BioPharma, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (now Bausch Health Companies), and Legacy Pharmaceuticals. Notably, he co-founded Espero, focusing on cardiovascular disease treatments, and played key roles in its growth and strategic transactions.
Quang Pham, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Cadrenal Therapeutics, expressed confidence in Mr. Cole’s abilities, highlighting his expertise in product development, manufacturing, and commercialization. Mr. Cole’s appointment was expected to fortify the company’s position as it advances its tecarfarin clinical program and explores partnering opportunities, particularly amid rising demand for innovative anticoagulation therapies.
Despite this positive development, Cadrenal Therapeutics faced a setback in its stock performance. Following a previous close of $1.13 on Wednesday, the stock experienced a sharp decline, opening trading at $0.97 on Thursday morning.
At the time of this publication, Cadrenal Therapeutics Inc stock (CVKD) has witnessed a decline.

Mr. Jeff Cole himself expressed enthusiasm about joining Cadrenal Therapeutics at a crucial juncture, emphasizing the increasing demand for new anticoagulation therapies to address unmet needs in patient populations such as those with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and atrial fibrillation (AFib). His aim is to leverage his extensive experience to propel tecarfarin towards market entry and serve these underserved patient groups effectively.
With an MBA from the University of Michigan and a BS in accounting from the University of Southern California, Mr. Cole’s educational background complements his wealth of industry experience, positioning him as a valuable addition to Cadrenal’s leadership team.
As Cadrenal Therapeutics navigates this period of stock volatility, investors and industry observers will keenly watch how the company leverages Mr. Cole’s expertise and strategic initiatives to potentially reverse its recent downturn and drive long-term growth in the competitive biopharmaceutical landscape.
