Sanofi, a global healthcare leader, has appointed Jean-Paul Scheuer as its country chair and general manager, Rx, for Gulf countries, effective March 10.

He succeeds Ayman Mokhtar, the company’s former country chair and general manager.

Sanofi Gulf includes UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Yemen. With around 250 employees working every day to improve health, the affiliate is an active partner of local health authorities.

The company demonstrates its contribution to meeting health challenges in different ways including driving scientific innovation, and helping improve access to healthcare, among others.

Scheuer joined Sanofi in 2008 as general manager for Ukraine. Under his leadership, Sanofi Ukraine consolidated, solidified and further expanded the business in a highly challenging business landscape, while ensuring organisational continuity and growth.

He has over 20 years of experience working in the pharmaceutical industry.

Speaking on his appointment, Scheuer said: “Sanofi has emerged as a strong healthcare leader in the region. Our efforts in the Gulf are directed towards meeting patients’ needs in countries where we operate – through diverse product offerings and meaningful partnerships with health authorities.”

“We are also playing a positive role in shaping the healthcare industry. I am honoured to lead the business at an exciting phase of growth while continuing the organization’s long standing legacy and commitment,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
