Lightlake Therapeutics Inc. (OTCBB: LLTP), a drug discovery company developing innovative solutions to combat the worldwide epidemic in obesity – a trillion dollar market - has appointed Dr Roger Crystal as CEO.

Crystal, 33, will spearhead Lightlake’s operations from its London HQ, overseeing the clinical trials programme and the bringing to market of a groundbreaking safe and effective treatment for obesity and unhealthy eating habits.

He began his career as a medical doctor in 2002 and qualified as a surgeon in 2005, most recently at St Mary’s Hospital, London. He has an MBA awarded by the London Business School.

Whilst on the MBA Dr Crystal’s experience also included internship at investment bank Goldman Sachs International and he was President of the Healthcare Club at London Business School, from where he has a valuable network.

“We are proud to announce the appointment of Dr Crystal. We wanted an individual with clinical, financial and business experience.” said a Lightlake spokesperson.

“Dr Crystal has that rare combination of treating people up close and personal while having the business acumen to drive our product to market quickly, efficiently and with efficacy. Unhealthy eating is costing nations billions in addition to the social costs to individuals and families, ranging from depression to diabetes. Lightlake believes the clinical trials beginning in January will prove its product will be a fast, effective and – unlike other pharmaceutical products – a safe solution free of side effects, to one of the biggest health crises of our time.”
