Recently, I had the privilege of leading Ferring Pharmaceuticals through its largest strategic change in 15 years, crafting a new growth agenda, initiating a successful transformation journey, and rebalancing the product portfolio. Despite challenges posed by COVID-19, we not only expanded our core fertility business but also doubled operating profits. Our groundbreaking approvals in oncology and the microbiome earned us a spot in Fast Company's Top Ten most innovative pharmaceutical companies for 2023. ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ | ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ & ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด | ๐๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ I worked closely throughout this journey with members of the top management team, aligning our efforts on commercial and development portfolios, streamlining the cost base, and driving in- and out-bound deals to fit the product pipeline to the strategy.
