Message to the Supply Chain Community
Receiving this award is incredibly humbling, as it reflects the dedication and passion I’ve poured into my work over the years. It serves as a reminder of the meaningful impact we can make when we truly pursue our goals. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all my colleagues throughout my career – this would not have been possible without their unwavering support.

CASE STUDY
Enabling future growth by flawless execution of product launches
“In addition, we established a sustainable supply chain to enable further growth for our business. In just two years, the team has successfully executed more than 50 product launches globally, showcasing our adaptability and efficiency in action. This is an outstanding achievement for a pharma business the size of CSL Vifor. One of the newly launched products is a potential new standard of care for patients suffering from two forms of ANCA-associated vasculitis. Making our therapy available to patients who were desperately waiting for a new treatment option gives a lot of purpose to the team and personally makes me very proud. “
