Sinclair Pharma (“Sinclair”, http://www.sinclairpharma.com) a global aesthetics company headquartered in London and fully-owned subsidiary of Huadong Medicine Company Limited announces that Chris Spooner is stepping down as CEO to be replaced by Miguel Pardos, who will also join the board of Sinclair. Alan Olby, former CFO will also be leaving the company.

Miguel Pardos has been CEO of Sinclair’s EBD division since the acquisition of Cocoon Medical in 2021 and will take over as group CEO on June 1. Chris Spooner will be taking up a consultancy role as part of this change and will remain with the company in this position for the foreseeable future.

The company was acquired by Huadong Medicine in 2018 and has continued its rapid growth since then.

The company has very strong foundations and I will be dedicated in my efforts to build Sinclair into one of the leading players in the aesthetics industry.

I would like to put on record my thanks to Chris for his exceptional contribution in creating this exciting and dynamic business.”

Commenting on his departure Chris Spooner said, “I’ve enjoyed the most incredible 12 years at Sinclair. I am confident of Sinclair’s continued success as I leave a business with great products, culture and people. Thank you to everyone involved in the Sinclair story. I wish everyone the best and look forward to watching Sinclair go from strength to strength”.
