Fred Hassan Shares His Views on the Past, Present and Future of the Pharmaceutical Industry
I just received a phone call from UK-based Meettheboss.TV to give me advance notice of an interview that was conducted with Fred Hassan, the former CEO of Schering Plough, that will be shown tomorrow at the Meettheboss.TV website. Hassan stepped aside as CEO after Merck acquired Schering Plough for $41.1 billion late last year.
Mr Hassan is arguably one of the most respected and highly visible pharmaceutical executives in the industry. He sat down with Meettheboss.TV to share how he was able to turn around a dysfunctional and failing Schering Plough and restore its tarnished image.
“I joined a company in 1997 that was in great difficulty. There has been a merger between a Swedish company and a U.S. company, and that merger had resulted in a lot of difficulties, I was brought in as a CEO from the outside to try to make this merger work. I realized that the future growth product of this company has been compromised in a deal that had to be untangled.” Fred told Meettheboss.tv
In an uncharacteristically candid interview, Hassan also offers his personal insights and views on the challenges that the pharmaceutical industry faces in the future as traditional business models begin to change and new players enter the pharmaceutical industry space.

Until next time....
Good Luck and Good Viewing!!!!!!!!
