President and CEO of LEO Pharma leaves the company

30 November 2021

Privately-held Danish medical dermatology specialist LEO Pharma today said that its president and chief executive of two years, Catherine Mazzacco, has resigned from the position and will be leaving the company as of today.

LEO Pharma has recently completed the first phase of its strategic transformation process – including the development of a new capital and governance structure. During her more than two years as president and CEO, Ms Mazzacco has successfully led this effort and developed the company’s sales and marketing capabilities while at the same time building a strong executive leadership team.

The next phase of LEO Pharma’s transformation is focused on preparing the company for an initial public offering (IPO) within a four- to five-year time horizon. This requires a focus on operational efficiency, shareholder and capital markets engagement, and driving the internal strategic transformation of the organization.
