Christophe Bourdon, LEO Pharma 🇩🇰 | Biopharma Turnaround | E31

Описание: We’re in Copenhagen with Christophe Bourdon, the CEO who turned a 116-year-old biopharma company from the brink of failure to success.

We discuss the lessons behind the turnaround, innovation in dermatology, especially biologicals and I&I, and living in eight different countries.

⭐️ ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Christophe Bourdon came to be CEO of LEO Pharma in 2022, where he was tasked with the massive assignment of transforming the financially failing company into a success. Luckily he had gained experience in roles of increasing leadership importance in many EU biotech companies, Sanofi, Amgen, and Alexion, as well as leading the smaller biotech, Orphazyme A/S, as their CEO. Now Leo Pharma is in the green.
