Hired someone new and exciting? Promoted a rising star? Finally solved that hard-to-fill spot? Share the news with us and we’ll share with it others. That’s right. Send us your announcements and we’ll find a home for them. Don’t be shy. Everyone wants to know who is coming and going, especially with all the layoffs being announced each month. Despite the downsizing, there is movement. Here are some of the latest changes. Recognize anyone?
Wyeth Consumer Healthcare named Isma Benattia exec vp, global R&D;
AstraZeneca named Jean-Philippe Courtois as a non-executive director;
Lilly added Michael Eskew, former United Parcel Service ceo, to its board;
Shasun Chemicals & Drugs appointed Norbert Dieterich president of its UK subsidiary;
WeissComm Partners hired Tom Jones, formerly with Novartis, as managing director;
Novo Nordisk named Pam Harris vp for diabetes sales, managed care and government accounts.

so any ideas as to why Courtois has been taken on, what have AZN got up their sleeves now?!
Outside teh Box
Courtois has a position that provides the ability to access the highest levels of Government all over the world. Given the evolution of the role of software in managing health, and the way MS want to lead that industry, I would say this is a very smart move by AZ.
