William Burns - Roche
Sticking with Boards of Directors, Roche is looking to re-elect its own next April but current member William Burns will not be on it, having announced he will not be standing next year.
Burns, who is also on the Board at Shire and Biotie Therapies, was CEO of Roche Pharmaceuticals Division between 2005 and 2009.
“As a long-standing member of the Executive Committee, successful Head of the Pharmaceuticals division and as a board member William Burns has made significant contributions to the success of Roche,” said Chairman Franz Humer. “I want to express my profound gratitude to him for his services.”
