Klaus Beck’s Expertise I am a physician & scientist with 30+ years of industry experience. I have held leadership roles with increasing responsibility within global clinical development, safety, medical affairs and business development and licensing in the US, Europe, Japan and the broader Asia/Pacific region, while at Organon, Merck & Co, Amgen and AstraZeneca. My most recent full time role in industry was as Chief Medical Officer at Organon, setting up and leading global clinical development and safety functions as well as developing and chairing R&D and cross-functional corporate governance systems. Earlier in my industrial career, I gathered 5+ years of experience in basic discovery research at Genentech and Amgen (work published in top tier peer reviewed journals) and prior to that also in academia. I have led large crossfunctional and international teams with great success, covering all development stages (discovery, biomarker research, clinical study phases 1-4 with several successful regulatory filings in US and Japan), medical affairs, safety and business development. My educational background includes a MD/PhD degree (PhD in pharmacology) from University of Heidelberg, Germany plus a second PhD in neuroscience from University of Southern California. I am license-eligible as a physician in Germany. I have outstanding team building, leadership and change management skills based on deep organizational and strategic intelligence. My success in a wide spectrum of leadership situations and geographies, speak to my ability to flexibly adapt and lead to goal in a wide range of cultural environments. My leadership style is delivery-focused, open, empathic, engaging and inspiring. I am a USA and German dual citizen, fluent in English and German, conversational skills in French, basic skills in Spanish and Japanese.
