“#GlaxoSmithKline fires Moncef Slaoui after sex harassment probe<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

GlaxoSmithKline fired Moncef Slaoui \u2014\u00a0the feds\u2019 former coronavirus vaccine czar \u2014 from one of its subsidiaries after an internal probe found he had sexually harassed one of the British drugmaker\u2019s employees.<\/p>\n

GSK said Wednesday it booted Slaoui from his post as chairman of the board of Galvani Bioelectronics, a medical research firm that\u2019s majority-owned by the pharma giant.<\/p>\n

The move came after GSK received a letter detailing allegations of sexual harassment and \u201cinapp<\/a>ropriate conduct\u201d against Slaoui dating back to his time on GSK\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n

GSK\u2019s board hired a law firm to launch an investigation that substantiated the allegations but is still ongoing, the company said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Slaoui\u2019s behaviors are wholly unacceptable,\u201d GSK said in a news<\/a> release. \u201cThey represent an abuse of his leadership position, violate company policies, and are contrary to the strong values that define GSK\u2019s culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slaoui spent about three decades at GSK and chaired the company\u2019s vaccine unit before serving last year as the head of Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration\u2019s initiative to develop vaccines for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Slaoui also previously served on the board of Moderna, the biotech firm that developed one of three COVID-19 shots cleared for use in the US. He left the company last May after taking the White House job.<\/p>\n

GSK chief executive Emma Walmsley told staff in a letter that the firm had been dealing with the allegations against Slaoui since February, according to Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company \u2014 which is developing a coronavirus vaccine with Sanofi \u2014 said Christopher Corsico, its senior vice president of development, will serve as the new chair of Galvani\u2019s board, of which he\u2019s already a member. GSK also tapped another executive, Amy Altshul, to join the board.<\/p>\n

\u201cSexual harassment and any abuse of leadership position are strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated,\u201d GSK said in its release.<\/p>\n

Slaoui did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to a LinkedIn message seeking comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
