Mentari Therapeutics Appoints
Industry Veteran Greg Divis as
Chief Executive Officer

Former Avadel CEO brings a proven track record of strategic leadership, M&A expertise, and commercial success to lead Mentari as it advances potentially best-in-class therapies for the prevention of migraine

Mentari is on-track for regulatory filings to support the advancement of MT-001, an anti-PACAP antibody, in MY 2026 and MT-002, an anti-PACAP and anti-CGRP bispecific antibody, in Q1 2027

WALTHAM, Mass., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentari Therapeutics, Inc., a privately held biotechnology company developing therapies for the prevention of migraine, today announced the appointment of Greg Divis as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors, effective July 20, 2026.

“Greg brings proven experience to Mentari during its foundational period of growth. He is the ideal choice to lead as we rapidly advance MT-001 and MT-002 through clinical development and position Mentari as a leader in migraine prevention,” said Julianne Bruno, Chair of the Board of Directors at Mentari Therapeutics and Growth Partner at Fairmount. “His experience successfully commercializing Lumryz^® and delivering on the acquisition by Alkermes demonstrates his ability to build shareholder value while also delivering meaningful therapies for patients.”

“Mentari’s approach to migraine prevention, initially targeting the complementary and validated PACAP and CGRP pathways, represents an opportunity to deliver enhanced migraine relief for patients who continue to suffer with the current standard of care,” said Divis. “With MT-002 also designed for convenient subcutaneous delivery, Mentari is well-positioned to lead the next wave of migraine treatment. I am excited about Mentari’s entire pipeline, which offers a clear path to value creation, as well as versatility through its novel targets and potential to build next-generation combination therapies that may deliver migraine freedom to more patients. I am honored to join this talented team.”

Divis joins Mentari after serving as the CEO of Avadel Pharmaceuticals, where he led the company through the successful development, FDA approval, and commercial launch of Lumryz^® (sodium oxybate), a treatment for narcolepsy. Under his tenure, Divis transformed Avadel from a development-stage company into a fully integrated commercial organization, ultimately overseeing Avadel’s sale to Alkermes in a transaction valued at up to $2.4 billion. With over 30 years of industry experience, he previously served as an Operating Partner for Linden Capital Partners, President & CEO at Lumara Health, President of Ther-Rx Corporation, and Vice President at Sanofi-Aventis (now Sanofi) and Schering-Plough (now Merck & Co.).
