Anika Therapeutics ( (ANIK) ) just unveiled an update.
On January 8, 2026, Anika Therapeutics announced a planned leadership transition effective February 1, 2026, under which Stephen (Steve) Griffin, currently Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, will become President and Chief Executive Officer and join the board, succeeding Cheryl R. Blanchard, who will move into the role of Executive Chair. Blanchard’s transition is governed by a multi-year services and separation framework that keeps her as Executive Chair for 12 months, then as Special Advisor for six months and an employee for an additional six months through January 31, 2028, with continued board service through the 2028 annual meeting, while Griffin’s new employment agreement sets his CEO compensation and a three-year vesting schedule for equity awards. The company reaffirmed its fiscal 2025 guidance and also reported governance changes including the appointment of director Jack Henneman as Lead Independent Director and the resignation of long-serving director Susan N. Vogt, whose departure allows Griffin to join the board in line with the company’s board-size limit; taken together, these moves underscore Anika’s effort to consolidate strategic, financial and operational leadership around Griffin as it pursues profitable growth in osteoarthritis pain management and regenerative solutions, while preserving continuity through Blanchard’s ongoing involvement and indemnification protections extended to all directors.
