Daiichi Sankyo has appointed Leigh Ann Errico as the company’s vice president of human resources for the U.S. administrative and commercial group. Ms. Errico brings extensive experience in change management, organizational and executive development, and HR strategy for mergers and acquisitions, as well as individual and team coaching.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Leigh Ann to Daiichi Sankyo given her impressive background designing talent strategies and managing organizational initiatives that support a future-focused culture that best serves the organization, the team, and the individual,” said Ken Keller, president, administrative and commercial, Daiichi Sankyo. “As Daiichi Sankyo continues to transform our business toward an emerging portfolio in pain relief and oncology, Leigh Ann will play a crucial role in driving growth and collaboration internally, positioning the company and our employees for even greater levels of success.”
 
Prior to starting her own leadership coaching and consulting firm in 2007, Ms. Errico held roles of increasing responsibility in HR for more than 18 years, including positions at Schering Plough—since acquired by Merck—as vice president of HR within the global pharmaceuticals division and a global leadership role on the HR team at Pharmacia—now Pfizer.
