Mind Science Targeting Big Brains and Portfolios

Perhaps his biggest accomplishment was, as reported in cfo.com, Michael Eisner stating that “we needed him back at corporate”, when the CEO brought Nanula back as his CFO to help stabilize Disney in one of its most turbulent periods.

Former CFO of Amgen and Walt Disney, Richard Nanula, is now Advancing Psychotropic Medicine

DENVER, Colo., Aug 2, 2023 (www.247marketnews.com) Lucy Scientific Discovery (NASDAQ: LSDI) (“LUCY” or the “Company”) recently appointed Richard Nanula as its CEO. To say that it’s an extraordinary development, which promises to revolutionize the understanding and applications of psychotropic medicines, may sound like a stretch, but one look at his impressive track record in the C-suites of several of the most recognized companies on the planet confirms that something special is in the works.

Money and Talent continue to move to the Mind Science Sector

The field of "Mind Science" is experiencing a surge in interest and demand, thanks to scientific advancements in neuroscience and psychology that raised mental health awareness and reduced stigma. MindMed (NASDAQ: MNMD) and Seelos Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SEEL) have been at the forefront, and respectively raised $205.8M and $51.3M. MindMed and Seelos’s shares have more than doubled in 2023, with their success being attributed to their pioneering treatments and positive reception from investors, driving growth in the mind science sector.

Respectfully speaking, no other executive in the mind science space can match Nanula’s CV, which includes Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN), where, as EVP Finance & Strategy & CFO, he conceived and executed 5 acquisitions, valued at $18 billion, including the largest in the history of the biotech industry at the time. His other moves included borrowing over $15 billion, spearheading a stock buyback of over 25% AMGN’s stock at under $60 per share, which rapidly shot to over $160, and implemented strategies to reduce its tax rate by more than half.

As Disney’s (NYSE: DIS) EVP and CFO, Nanula led the first ever corporate100-year bonds program, first ever convertible debt into a subsidiary (Euro Disney), over $3 billion of film financings (Silver Screen), and the over $20 billion acquisition and financing of Capital Cities/ABC (ABC television network, ESPN). During his tenure, Disney’s revenues grew from $2 billion to over $20 billion and market capitalization from $3 billion to over $40 billion. Perhaps his biggest accomplishment was, as reported in cfo.com, Michael Eisner stating that “we needed him back at corporate”, when the CEO brought Nanula back as his CFO to help stabilize Disney in one of its most turbulent periods.

Nanula joined Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, part of Marriott International (NASDAQ: MAR), as President and COO, to lead integration of 3 acquired entities, Starwood Hotels, Westin and Sheraton ITT into a single $20 billion enterprise, the largest hospitality company in the world, with over 1,000 hotels

Nanula brings extensive experience, strategic acumen, and a keen understanding of the pharmaceutical and entertainment industries to lead Lucy into an era of groundbreaking discoveries and innovations.

The impact of Nanula's leadership is already playing out with the acquisition of SANA-013 and the launch of new products "Twilight" and "Mindful" positions Lucy for unparalleled success in the ever-expanding global depression treatment market.

The SANA-013 acquisition represents a pivotal moment for Lucy Scientific Discovery. This novel combination, integrating psilocybin and CBD with potent anti-inflammatory effects, holds immense potential in the treatment of several mental health and central nervous system (CNS) conditions, including Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Migraine, Episodic Cluster Headaches, and Trigeminal Neuralgia (TG). The emergence of this revolutionary treatment is projected to make a substantial impact on the global depression treatment market, which was valued at $12.1 billion in 2019 and is estimated to reach $16.1 billion by 2027, exhibiting a revenue CAGR of 3.9% from 2020-2027 (Emergent Research).

With Nanula at the helm, the integration of SANA-013 into Lucy's portfolio augments the company's position as a leader in psychotropic medicine research and development. His expertise in financial management, corporate governance, and strategic partnerships will undoubtedly facilitate the expedited progress of SANA-013 through the clinical trial stages and regulatory approvals, ultimately bringing this groundbreaking treatment to patients worldwide.

Under Nanula's visionary leadership, Lucy Scientific Discovery is poised to introduce two new products that promise to enhance cognitive function, sleep quality, and overall mental well-being. Twilight, a blend of Amanita and Reishi mushrooms infused with various nootropics, has the potential to revolutionize cognitive enhancement and sleep health, and Mindful by Lucy, features Amanita Muscaria mushrooms and a proprietary blend of natural functional ingredients, presents an exciting opportunity to address mental health concerns in a safe and innovative manner.

Nanula's product development experience and market penetration strategies will play a pivotal role in ensuring the successful launch of these products. By harnessing his leadership and expertise, Lucy Scientific Discovery can seamlessly navigate the intricacies of market dynamics and regulatory compliance, establishing a solid foundation for both Twilight and Mindful to thrive and positively impact the lives of millions of individuals seeking improved mental well-being.

The appointment of Richard Nanula as the CEO of Lucy Scientific Discovery, in the rapidly growing field of Mind Science, marks a defining moment in the advancement of psychotropic medicines. With his vast expertise and strategic vision, Nanula will effectively lead the company through the clinical development of SANA-013, seize the potential of Twilight and Mindful to address cognitive and mental health concerns, and unlock new avenues for growth through strategic partnerships. Lucy Scientific Discovery is poised to reshape the global depression treatment market, fostering a brighter and more hopeful future for those seeking enhanced mental well-being. As the world watches with anticipation, Nanula's leadership ensures that Lucy will continue to push the boundaries of scientific discovery, making a profound impact on countless lives and the future of psychotropic medicine.
