Ver­tex CFO Thomas Graney ex­its abrupt­ly; Eli Lil­ly touts a head-to-head win over Hu­mi­ra

→ Ver­tex CFO Thomas Graney has abrupt­ly re­signed. The bell­wether Boston biotech says that COO Ian Smith will fill in on a tem­po­rary ba­sis. There was no ex­pla­na­tion for the de­par­ture — Graney hand­ed in his res­ig­na­tion let­ter on De­cem­ber 13 — out­lined in an SEC fil­ing Mon­day morn­ing. UP­DATE: Af­ter we re­port­ed this Mon­day, a start­up named Gen­er­a­tion Bio — helmed by Ge­off Mc­Do­nough — put out a no­tice that Graney had de­cid­ed to jump over to be­come their CFO. So mys­tery solved.
