NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Biohaven Ltd. (NYSE: BHVN), a global biopharmaceutical company, today announced the appointment of John Yetimoglu to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.

Mr. Yetimoglu is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Infinitum, an investment firm specializing in semiconductors, videogaming, and next-generation AI application platforms.
