Grünenthal lures former BI exec to be its CSO

9 January 2025

German family-owned pain focused drugmaker Grünenthal announced today that Prof Dr Uli Brödl will assume the role of chief scientific officer (CSO) and a member of the corporate executive board, effective February 1, 2025.

Prof Brödl has more than 15 years of industry experience. He joins Grünenthal from privately-held German pharma major Boehringer Ingelheim, where he served as corporate senior vice president, head of global clinical development and operations, and member of Boehringer Ingelheim's Venture Fund Investment Committee. In his most recent role, he oversaw end-to-end clinical development and operations activities across therapeutic areas and worked at the interface of R&D, commercial, and market access functions. He has a proven track record of bringing innovative medicines to patients, including Empagliflozin, an oral anti-diabetic medicine, said Grünenthal.

Earlier in his career, Prof Brödl led Boehringer Ingelheim's Canadian medical organisation and gained extensive market experience. In parallel, he founded and co-chaired the BI Canada Incubator, an innovation lab to develop innovative healthcare solutions.
