Giovanni Caforio, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 Novartis Giovanni Caforio, the future president of Novartis, is set to take the helm of the board at the Basel-based pharmaceutical giant next year. His nomination, although a significant move for Novartis, has not generated much attention, likely due to his relatively low profile within the pharmaceutical industry. Novartis has subtly communicated the transition, revealing in April, alongside their Q1 business figures, that Caforio would replace long-standing President Jörg Reinhardt. Caforio, an Italian-American dual citizen, has a robust track record as the former head of Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), where he led the transformation of the company into a global pharmaceutical leader, renowned for its strong research and development and marketing capabilities. Originally from Rome, Caforio completed his medical studies there before embarking on a pharmaceutical career. His first twelve years in the industry were spent at Abbott Laboratories, after which he joined BMS in 2000, eventually becoming CEO in 2015. Known for his loyalty to the companies he serves, Caforio has been praised for nearly tripling BMS's turnover to $45 billion during his tenure, largely due to the strategic acquisition of Celgene in 2019. Despite his successful corporate career, Caforio remains a relatively unfamiliar face in European pharmaceutical circles. His move to Novartis marks a significant shift, taking over from Reinhardt, who has been able to leverage his German language skills and local ties to enhance Novartis’s image in the Basel region. Caforio’s leadership transition comes at a time when BMS faces challenges, with revenues declining over the past two years due to expiring patents and a lack of new products. His successor at BMS, Chris Boerner, has initiated a major cost-cutting program to address these issues. Fluent in Italian, English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, Caforio brings a wealth of international experience to Novartis. However, unlike Reinhardt, he does not speak German, which may pose challenges in local engagements. Market observers are keen to see how Caforio will adapt to his new role as the non-executive chairman of Novartis, focusing on strategic oversight rather than day-to-day operations. Financial analysts are particularly interested in the dynamics between Caforio and Novartis’s current CEO, Vas Narasimhan, given the latter's sensitivity to criticism. The industry is watching closely to see how this partnership will navigate the company’s future challenges, especially as Novartis prepares for potential downturns due to patent expirations on key medications.

With double of the US population and universal healthcare access, Europe represents the second largest healthcare market in the world.    Today we bid farewell to our “Think about Europe” series of posts; through which we described the challenges and commercial opportunity that Europe represents for US-based pharmaceutical and biotech companies looking to expand their footprint.    The topics we have discussed during the campaign are linked here and outlined below >> https://lnkd.in/dtbB3CAM   Our overall recommendations to manufacturers are: A) Think about Europe early in the clinical development process to maximise the European opportunity, we recommend it to be no later than in Phase II clinical trials.    B) Understand country level reimbursement processes and pricing potential to help decision-makers think more intelligently about resource allocation in the long term    c) Consider engaging with an experienced partner for European market access to mitigate the potential commercialisation challenges down the road.   The Cogentia team are well prepared to help you identify potential pitfalls for the European market and bring much needed treatments to patients across Europe.    #marketaccess #europe #HEOR  

The largest biopharma companies have a market cap of ~$4 trillion. Here's a look behind the biggest swings over the last 10 years: #Medicalscienceliaison #MedicalAffairs #FromScienceToPharma #FSTP The biggest and clearest gain is how GLP-1s have powered Lilly and Novo to market values magnitudes above everyone else. But this isn't just a story of GLP-1s carrying the team: The remaining 17 analyzed were able to grow market values from $2.1 trillion in 2019 to $2.7 trillion in 2024, showing there was good growth industry-wide. There are also several interesting sub-plots within the bigger picture: The contrast between Japan's two largest biopharma companies, Daiichi-Sankyo and Takeda, is particularly interesting. 10 years ago, Takeda had a market cap almost 3x higher than Daiichi Sankyo, which today has the larger market cap. Daiichi grew its value primarily through organic growth, particularly around oncology and ADCs, while Takeda's most notable move was its $62B acquisition of Shire in 2019. Daiichi has been particularly successful leveraging partnerships: Its 2019 deal with AstraZeneca for what became Enhertu got it $1.35B upfront, and a subsequent 2020 deal with AstraZeneca got it another $1B in guaranteed payments. Most recently, Daiichi signed a monster deal with Merck that included $4 billion in upfront and near term guaranteed payments for 3 ADCs. The rise of Regeneron and Vertex into the top tier of biopharmas is also notable. Both are now at key inflection points working to diversify their pipelines, with Vertex getting closer to launching its first medicines outside CF. Looking back, it's clear there is a lot of shifting up and down the list, which proves the old adage "the only constant is change", and shows the only way to remain on top is through consistent, impactful innovation. 👩⚕️ 💊 Have you joined the MSL and medical affairs linkedin community yet?
