M. Fillon, General Director of Novo Nordisk’s French Branch

Reactivity, Efficiency, and excellent Service
When our HR team approached CEO Worldwide regarding the recruitment of an aseptic production director for our French branch based in Chartres (700 staff), we were fully aware of the difficulties to find such a specific profile, in particular as it was extremely urgent!

The searched for criteria were:

• Aseptic production experience in the pharmaceutical industry

• Degree in pharmaceutical studies or medecin

• Management of more than 300 staff and experience as Co-Director

• International coordination of several production sites

• Bilingual French-English

We appreciated CEO Worldwide’s operational, business oriented and pragmatic approach right from the first telephone briefing. They presented us with 4 candidates within 8 days, thus we could go ahead with face to face interviews very quickly.

CEO Worldwide guided us through the whole process with operational advice, business oriented but at the same time with the necessary distance to challenge the candidates and to push the requirements of the Novo Nordisk team. We finally chose Eric Kummer, due to his professional track record in the pharmaceutical sector and in the production. He was able to start within an extremely tight schedule and up to now we are absolutely satisfied.

Thanks to the professional service of CEO Worldwide, their reactivity and pertinence, we could recruit such a specific profile in 35 days only, which is remarkable in this international context for which the time factor plays a crucial role.
