Changes in Siegfried Management
Following a Ph.D. degree in organic chemistry from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, René Imwinkelried completed a postdoctoral fellowship at both Colorado State University and Harvard University. Prior to his current position at Roche, he executed various R&D functions at Lonza between 1991 and 2004 and held the position of Head of Global Chemical and Physical Sciences at the US pharmaceutical company Schering-Plough from 2004 to 2010.
He succeeds Wolfgang Wienand, Ph.D., who held this position since August 2010 and will now focus on further developing Strategy and Mergers & Acquisitions in the Executive Committee and on his responsibility for Legal and IP Management. Wolfgang Wienand will continue to execute both functions until René Imwinkelried joins Siegfried.
