Wulf joins the Board as a current parent at the School; her daughter is a rising sophomore.
Matthew Pauls is president and chief executive officer of Cortendo, AB, a global pharmaceutical company. Pauls has more than twenty years of leadership experience in the pharmaceutical industry, with an emphasis on general management, global product launches, commercial operations, business development, clinical development and technical operations.
Prior to joining Cortendo in 2014, Pauls was chief commercial officer of Insmed, Inc., a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company. In this role, Mr. Pauls built out the global commercial strategy and organization and led global technical operations efforts. He also played a key role in investor interactions and financings. Before that, Pauls was senior vice president and head of global commercial operations at Shire Pharmaceuticals.
Pauls has held positions at Bristol-Myers Squibb in brand management and payor marketing and at Johnson & Johnson in various U.S. and global commercial roles. He holds B.S. and M.B.A. degrees from Central Michigan University and a J.D. from Michigan State University College of Law.
Anne Michaelson joins the Board ex-officio in her role as co-president of The Pennington School Parents Association. Michaelson began her professional career in public relations at The Estee Lauder Companies before pursuing a master’s degree in health care marketing at Columbia University.
Subsequently she worked in the surgery department at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York, responsible for securing significant sponsorship dollars and donations for the hospital programs she helped to create.
A resident of Montgomery Township, Michaelson became PTA president of the local public school and helped transform that traditional organization into both a financial contributor to the schools and trusted consultant to the school administration. After that, she served on the Montgomery Township Board of Education for four years. Michaelson is a strong advocate for programs that give back to communities. She has volunteered at several local organizations including HomeFront, Dress for Success, Montgomery High School, and now at The Pennington School, where she is the proud parent of two daughters who are in the Upper School.
These three new members will bring a diverse set of skills to their work on the Board of Trustees as the School enters its fourth year of a five-year, $20M capital campaign and transformation of the campus and groundbreaking new programs in global studies, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), and interdisciplinary studies.
The Pennington School is an independent coeducational school for students in grades 6 through 12, in both day and boarding programs, with an enrollment of approximately 500 students. The School offers a comprehensive, college preparatory curriculum, with an emphasis on fostering the growth of the whole student through academics, athletics, community service, and the creative and performing arts. The Pennington School is committed to developing individual excellence in all of its students.
