Group Management Team (GMT)

The role of the Chief Executive Officer is subordinate to the Board of Directors and the main task is to take care of the Company’s ongoing management and the daily operations of the Company. The Board’s rules of procedure and instructions for the Chief Executive Officer clarify which issues the Company’s Board of Directors shall decide on and which decisions should be taken by the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer also produces reports and essential documentation necessary to make decisions at Board meetings and presents the material at Board meetings. In addition to the Chief Executive Officer, senior management at Recipharm consists of ten members.
