UPDATE
Mike Crooks
Crooks first joined the business in December 2007 as marketing director, then became sales and marketing director for specialist brands in 2010.
He will now take charge of the expansion of Astellas' UK business with a focus on transplantation, urology, dermatology, anti-infectives, pain management and oncology – a new field for the firm.
“Having already established category leadership in Urology and Transplantation, we are looking to do the same in Oncology, reinforcing our commitment to bringing new and effective therapies to market in areas where unmet needs still exist,” Crooks said.
