Sanofi, Dietmar Berger
In an unusual move for a large pharma company, Sanofi revealed the identity of its new global head of development not through a press release but via Twitter.

Berger returns to the big pharma fold after a one-year stint as global head of R&D at Atara Biotherapeutics. Prior to this, he had been SVP of Genentech’s global clinical development division for a six-year period.
In addition, he worked as VP of global clinical development at Bayer for two years and held a similar role at Amgen for four years during his 10-year tenure at the company.
