The Power List 2021 – Biopharmaceuticals
President and CEO at G-Con Manufacturing
“For me, it is always exciting and encouraging to see new therapies being developed, especially fighting against cancer, but nowadays also rare diseases, which had no treatment options in the past. Treatments against cancers are now becoming a targeted approach, instead of affecting the patient’s entire body. In other cases, patients who had no chance of survival now see hope that their disease may be treated. These inspiring treatment steps forward make me want to work harder to find the manufacturing and process solutions to support such efforts. The COVID-19 pandemic and the incredible speed at which vaccines have been developed highlight an urgency for much-needed solutions. We as an industry have come a long way for the better of the patient – and I find this very motivating.”
