Alvotech is an incredibly exciting and focused business, and I will be putting my all into communicating the value of what we are doing to our growing circle of stakeholders in the US and globally - so we can deliver for patients and investors alike. I aim to bring my diverse experience across multiple continents and network encompassing the pharmaceutical, asset management and investment banking industries to drive Alvotech's goal of expanding affordable biologics globally."
