Maurice Chagnaud takes the helm at Poland’s largest pharma player
September 30, 2015
By: Tim Wright
Editor-in-Chief, Contract Pharma
Maurice Chagnaud has been named the new chief executive officer of Polpharma, the largest Polish pharmaceutical group. Dr. Chagnaud, who has over twenty years’ experience in top management positions in the European pharmaceutical industry, is expected to further accelerate the development of Polpharma to become a regional leader in CEE, CIS and Central Asia. The Polpharma Group is among the top 20 generic drug manufacturers in the world. It is a leading generics player based in Poland, operating across Europe, CIS and Central Asia, with manufacturing subsidiaries in Poland, Russia and Kazakhstan. It actively invests in biologics, building a strong internal organization as well as external partnerships for global development and the commercialization of biosimilars. “Polpharma’s strategic goal is to become a regional leader and grow outside of our current boundaries,” said Jerzy Starak, chairman of Polpharma’s supervisory board. “We are impressed by the extensive experience of Dr. Chagnaud, gained in international companies such as Merck Generics, Teva and Lupin, where his achievements included building regional strategies and transforming organizations to meet new challenges. I am confident that he will manage Polpharma effectively, identify and pursue new opportunities, and motivate our team to deliver outstanding performance to secure the long-term growth of our group.” Dr. Chagnaud has over 20 years’ experience in generics, OTC medicines, and biosimilars gained in international companies, where his achievements included building regional strategies and transforming organizations to meet new challenges. He worked for Merck Generics (Merck KgAa) for twelve years, responsible for all commercial operations—retail, hospital and export—in France and as general manager of Merck Generics Italia. Over the next seven years, he held several positions at TEVA: he was general manager of TEVA and Ivax France, chief commercial officer of TEVA Europe, and senior vice president in Central and Eastern Europe, running several acquisitions and integrations of companies. More recently, he served as president Europe, Russia & CIS and global head of inhalation strategy at Lupin, where he developed a European strategy including new geographies, reshaping the portfolio, and new commercial initiatives. He is a doctor of medicine, and holds an MBA degree in marketing, finance and administration. As the new CEO of Polpharma, Dr. Chagnaud will succeed Markus Sieger, who has been delegated by the supervisory board to exercise supervision over the company for the last six months, and who will remain a member of Polpharma’s supervisory board.
