Ardelyx

Come join the Ardelyx team!!

A few months later, I'm still energized by the message Nicole Malachowski shared with the Ardelyx, Inc. Team at our National Meeting this past February...and that says everything. Her keynote on resilience, adaptability, leadership, and teamwork didn't just inspire in the moment; it sparked something that continues to grow across our organization. The conversations, the mindset shifts, the way people show up for one another...her words are still working. Two ideas in particular have taken root. The "wingman contract" — the commitment teammates make to build trust, communicate openly, and step up when it matters most — has given us a shared language for what great partnership looks like. And her concept of "harnessing headwinds" has genuinely changed how we approach challenges. Uncertainty is inevitable, but with the right mindset and the right people around you, those moments become fuel. We are so fortunate to do this work in life sciences, where every challenge we navigate and every team we strengthen has a real impact on patients' lives. Nicole's message reminded us of that purpose...and of how much more we're capable of together. Thank you, Nicole, for your generosity, your wisdom, and your belief in what teams can achieve. We're carrying it forward! 🙏

Today, we’ve announced an important leadership transition at Ardelyx: Felecia E. has joined the company as our new Chief Legal Officer. Felecia brings extensive experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, with deep expertise across legal, compliance, regulatory and government affairs. We’re excited to welcome her to Team Ardelyx, and look forward to the leadership and perspective she will bring as we continue to grow. At the same time, this is also a meaningful moment to recognize Elizabeth Grammer , who is retiring after an incredible 16 years at Ardelyx. I’ve had the privilege of working with Liz for many years, dating back to an earlier chapter in my career. Throughout that time, I’ve come to know her not only for her brilliance, but also for her deep care for the company, our employees and the patients we serve. As we built Ardelyx together, Liz was a trusted advisor to me – a steady hand, a thoughtful partner and an exceptional leader. One of the lessons from working with her that has stayed with me is to never forget to give people the opportunity to shine, to be supportive, to be direct and to always keep sight of why we do this work: to help patients. Liz, thank you for your partnership, your leadership, and your many contributions to Ardelyx. You have helped shape this company in lasting ways, and we are all better for it. We wish you all the best in your well-deserved retirement. Please join me in welcoming Felecia and congratulating Liz.
