“We are thrilled to welcome Joan as we continue to expand the breadth of talent of our leadership team,” said David Schilansky, Deputy CEO of DBV Technologies. “Joan has shown a consistent track record of success, and her legal, business and industry background will be an asset as we advance potential new treatments for food allergies.”
Joan Schmidt joins DBV after three years at Biotronik, a global medical device company, where she was Executive Vice President, Legal & Human Resources, General Counsel and Secretary.

Joan Schmidt said, “DBV’s mission to develop potentially transformative treatments for patients with food allergies and other immunological diseases, with its novel Viaskin technology platform, is something I am passionate about. I look forward to building out a team that can support the potential launch of DBV’s first potential product for the treatment of peanut allergy, if Viaskin Peanut is approved.”
