I worked with Helmut twice in my career. The first time as early as 1995 when Helmut joined the Sandoz plant “Biochemie Kundl” in Austria where he established his first footprint in the development of biosimilars. Our second interaction started 18 years later when I hired Helmut as a consultant for Polpharma’s biologics business. At that time, Polpharma was ready to launch a state-of-the-art bio-manufacturing facility in Gdansk. Helmut’s support was much needed in managing the many scientific and commercial aspects Polpharma had to deal with in Latin America, the Middle East and in Asia. Helmut always proved his ability to be a strong manager who delivered the expected results. He combines excellent planning and organizational skills with good analytic thinking. Helmut is a powerful, honest and fair partner in any pharma project.
