Dr Alan Hippe is the latest senior executive featured in The CFO series
IR alumni from Roche – the 130-year-old Swiss pharmaceutical – include Dr Karl Mahler, Thomas Kudsk Larsen and Nina Goworek. Dr Bruno Eschli, the company’s IR lead for more than four years, delivers an impressive mix of capital markets and science – including an immunology post doctorate in the lab of Nobel laureates Rolf Zinkernagel and Hans Hengartner.
Given this impressive list – and the many more high-IR achievers to come out of the Basel-headquartered firm, what does CFO Dr Alan Hippe look for from his head of IR? As Hippe explains in his profile for The CFO series with IR Impact, Mahler and Eschli bring different personalities to the role – while also sharing key attributes that Hippe has come to appreciate over his 15 years with Roche and many more in other prominent CFO seats.
