New management at Alcon
Alcon, the global leader in eye care, is pleased to announce new leadership for the D-A-CH cluster (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Benedikt Hoffmann, former Alcon D-A-CH Vision Care Franchise Head and Country Manager, has been appointed Head of Commercial Operations Vision Care Europe.
Since joining Alcon in 2015 and after four years of successfully leading the D-A-CH Vision Care team, Benedikt Hoffmann is looking forward to this regional opportunity and is handing over the D-A-CH team into good hands. "The last four years have been a rewarding and amazing journey for Alcon D-A-CH and myself: Together with our customers and my team, we were able to introduce five contact lens innovations as well as our preservative-free wetting drops for dry eyes, improving the lives of many people," says Benedikt Hoffmann. "I am therefore deeply grateful to have been part of this journey. And at the same time, I am very pleased that Jan will continue this innovation journey with the D-A-CH Vision Care team."
Jan Thore Foehrenbach has been appointed Vision Care Franchise Head for the D-A-CH region, succeeding Benedikt Hoffmann, and is responsible for the further development of the Vision Care business. Jan Thore, who joined Ciba Vision / Alcon in 2008, returns to the D-A-CH markets after two regional roles in Europe. "I am very pleased to return to my home organization after six years in regional responsibility," says Jan Thore Foehrenbach. "Together with the Vision Care team in D-A-CH, we will help our customers to become even more successful with contact lenses and contact lens care products. Together we will unlock the potential in the market and help consumers to see even more brilliantly."
With this transition, Ege Bay, currently Surgical Franchise Head for D-A-CH, will take on additional responsibilities as Cluster Manager D-A-CH.
