2 July 2018

Danish CNS specialist Lundbeck (LUND: CO) has appointed Dr Deborah Dunsire as new president and CEO of Lundbeck. Dr Dunsire will take up her new position on September 1, 2018.

Lundbeck has been operating with an interim CEO since Kåre Schultz resigned from the position to join Israeli generics giant Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE: TEVA) as president and chief executive in late 2017.

Trained as a medical doctor, Deborah Dunsire (56) is an experienced CEO who brings more than 30 years of clinical, commercial, and international management experience from the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, primarily in the fields of oncology and CNS, thus bridging a breadth of scientific and business experience. Her wealth of professional and executive experience includes positions as President and CEO of XTuit Pharmaceuticals, FORUM Pharmaceuticals and Takeda’s US subsidiary Millennium Pharmaceuticals.
