Dr.
Horst Leder

With over 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, I bring not only in-depth knowledge of commercial processes but also an exclusive and selected global network.

After completing my doctorate studies at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, my career began at leading companies such as Takeda, Novartis, Eisai, Merck, Astellas, Mundipharma, and AOP Health.

My professional journey – covering amongst others functions with regional and global responsibilities such as Product Manager, Brand Director, Sales Manager,  Commercial Lead and Director Corporate Alliance Management – has taught me how to achieve sustainable success with strategic foresight, passion, and business acumen.

Some of my key milestones include:

  • Achieving market leadership for BLOPRESS® / BLOPRESS® Plus at Takeda Austria
  • Establishing Eisai in Austria and CEE in a senior leadership role
  • Relaunching the generic medicines division at Mundipharma Austria
  • Launching the biosimilar PELMEG in Austria and France
  • Driving the global expansion at AOP Pharmaceuticals with responsibility for 13 partner markets

As an intrinsically motivated leader, I rely on strategic foresight, innovative strength, and entrepreneurial thinking.

My goal is to advance companies sustainably and expand their market position successfully.

Together, we’ll take your success to the next level!
