Mr Ghostine has served as chief executive of Geneva, Switzerland-based Firmenich, the world's largest privately owned perfume and taste company, since 2014.

Mr Ghostine will become chairman of the new board of directors of Sandoz, which – as Novartis has previously indicated - will be formed following the spin-off from Novartis in the second half of 2023, subject to final Novartis board and shareholder approvals.
