Germany’s Merck has appointed Paolo Carli as its new head of healthcare business, taking the helm of its commercial operations for the Middle East, Africa and Turkey (MEA) region.
Carli joined Merck in 2009 as a member of the mergers and acquisitions team in Darmstadt, Germany, where he participated in the execution of transactions for the group.
He said: “Being a strategic region for Merck, we are committed to excel innovating and create value for patients across this region.
“Our innovative treatment options and sustainable commitment for patients will move us to the next level.”
Prior to his time at Merck, Carli worked with Deutsche Bank, both in Italy and Germany, where he contributed to the regional expansion of the retail franchise in Europe and several emerging markets.
He added: “I am delighted to lead the MEA team.”
