Ivo Vink

Ivo has a long and successful career in the pharmaceutical industry. After his training as a physiotherapist and working as a healthcare provider for a number of years, he made the switch to the pharmaceutical sector. There he started in sales and then held various positions, including product manager and marketing manager. Ivo now has more than 20 years of experience at management level. In the last five years of his career in the industry, he was General Manager of Bayer Nederland.

Ivo is known as someone who always sees opportunities – and knows how to realize them. With his hands-on mentality, no-nonsense approach, direct communication and results-oriented leadership style, he has built successful teams. Under his leadership, several products have grown into so-called blockbusters in the sector.

As an experienced leader, coach, mentor and change manager, Ivo has in-depth knowledge of product launches (small molecules, biologicals and medical devices), culture and change processes, reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions.

Driven by the belief that problems cannot be solved with the same thinking that created them, Ivo enjoys helping others tackle complex challenges.
