The Board of Directors of ALK is to nominate the former head of Consumer Healthcare at Sanofi, Alan Main, as an independent member of the Board of ALK-Abelló A/S, at ALK’s next Annual General Meeting, scheduled for March 2022. Alan’s nomination follows the decision of Vincent Warnery to step down as a member of ALK’s Board, after his appointment as the new CEO of Beiersdorf AG. Alan Main has more than 30 years of experience from the consumer healthcare industry, and served as EVP of Consumer Healthcare and an Executive Committee member at Sanofi for four years until 2020. There, he established a new global consumer healthcare business unit following the acquisition of Boehringer-Ingelheim’s over-the-counter medicines business. His time at Sanofi was preceded by 24 years at Bayer and Roche, which culminated as Global President of Bayer Medical Care and member of the Bayer Healthcare Executive Committee. Born in 1963, Alan is a British citizen and is currently a senior adviser at the impact investment platform, Bamboo Capital Partners.
