About Schroeder Theodore R

Theodore R. Schroeder is an experienced biopharmaceutical executive best known for his recent leadership role as Chief Executive Officer of Nabriva Therapeutics plc, where he also served on the board of directors. SEC filings indicate that he assumed that role in July 2018, following Nabriva’s acquisition of Zavante Therapeutics. His career spans more than 30 years focused on drug development and commercialization across both large pharmaceutical companies and smaller, innovation-driven biotech firms.

He also co-founded Cadence Pharmaceuticals in 2004 and served as its President and Chief Executive Officer, and as a board member, until Cadence was acquired by Mallinckrodt in 2014. That Cadence tenure is a defining part of his background, reflecting his ability to build and scale a biopharma company through to a strategic exit.
