View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
After a stint as entrepreneur and few years at McKinsey, I have been working in the pharmaceutical industry over the last 25+ years having experiences in Life Sciences, Biologics, Generic Drugs and Med Tech sectors. I was attracted by this industry for its innovation’s intensity and complexity, the global nature of the business and the opportunity to have a positive impact on people’s lives. I am Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fresenius Kabi, a leading global healthcare company providing lifesaving and life-sustaining products for critically and chronically ill patients around the globe with a strong portfolio in Biopharma, MedTech, Clinical Nutrition, and I.V. generics. Offering our products in more than 150 countries worldwide, our team - with over 43.000 associates. As a leader, I am a strong believer in the power of people and of the culture that permeates teams. It is about how we do things, how we work with integrity and collaboratively, and how we empower and inspire each other to be our best. Throughout my career, I have experienced how teams can turn the impossible into the possible and how clarity of direction, strong alignment, and passion to innovate can fuel long-term success. I hope you will follow this page and engage with me on our company’s developments and on my personal journey.
