These newly created internal advisory functions will play an important role in the continued international expansion of Rentschler Biopharma’s business.
 
Dr. Sabine Sydow joined Rentschler Biopharma on July 1, 2022 and is supporting the Executive Board as Chief of Staff. Through her many years as head of vfa bio (biotechnology interest group within the German Association of Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies, vfa), she gained an in-depth understanding of the biopharmaceutical industry and has an excellent network in business, academia, and government. As Chief of Staff, Dr. Sabine Sydow serves as an advisor, connecting the Executive Board with all parts of the company. 
 
“I am very pleased to join Rentschler Biopharma and to help shape the future of this innovative and forward-looking company. In line with the company’s guiding principle, ‘Many hands. Many minds. One team,’ I am excited to help implement the Board’s initiatives and also share employees’ ideas with management,” said Dr. Sabine Sydow. 
 
Falk Nuernberger joined Rentschler Biopharma as Corporate General Counsel on July 1, 2022. In this position, he will advise management in all legal matters. Previously, he worked for several years as General Counsel Europe and as a member of the European management team of the pharmaceutical company Viatris, where he led the international team of the European legal department. Mr. Nuernberger also held various senior positions in the legal departments of MediGene, Sandoz and Actavis. Earlier in his career, he worked for law firms specializing in corporate and tax law.
