A new chapter opens at privately-held Italian drugmaker Chiesi Farmaceutici as the 11-year tenure of chief executive Ugo Di Francesco, aged 62, comes to a close at the end of 2022.
Chiesi says it has begun a search for its next-generation CEO to take over the baton and build on the legacy.
“The journey that Ugo mapped out for the business, during what was undoubtedly a decade of change, is an exciting one. Chiesi has consolidated extraordinary growth and a solid future thanks to the joint efforts and contribution of the family, the CEO and the management team. We are now actively looking for a new leader who will be able to take his foundation and use it to continue building an ambitious future for all our people and patients,” said Chiesi president Alberto Chiesi, who also highlighted how the group’s family values will guarantee a seamless leadership transition.
