Jesper Hoiland, president of the Denmark-based firm said: “Our biopharmaceutical business will be increasingly important to our growth in the US as we apply the protein expertise developed through our diabetes franchise to helping people with haemophilia and growth disorders manage their conditions more effectively.”

“That business has flourished under Eddie’s experienced leadership. His promotion to senior vice president demonstrates the company’s focus on, and commitment to, our pipeline of life-changing biological therapies.”
