EliLilly announced Wednesday that Mike Mason, who currently serves as president of the company’s diabetes and obesity unit, will retire at the end of the year. The drugmaker said that Patrik Jonsson will assume leadership of the diabetes and obesity segment, in addition to his current position as president of Lilly USA.
Other changes at EliLilly will see Daniel Skovronsky - the company’s chief scientific officer and president of Lilly Research Laboratories - take on the additional role of president of immunology from Jonsson. Meanwhile, David Hyman will become EliLilly's chief medical officer, in addition to continuing to oversee oncology development, with Mark Genovese joining from Gilead Sciences on October 16 to lead clinical development of the mid and late-stage immunology portfolio.
Further, EliLilly noted that Leigh Ann Pusey, executive vice president of corporate affairs and communications, has decided to leave the company at the end of 2023 for another career opportunity.
