Philip brings extensive experience across finance, strategy and M&A and has a proven track record of driving business transformation.
Philip has a management consulting background from Bain & Company and attained his M.Sc. in Finance and Accounting from Copenhagen Business School and University of Michigan’s Ross Business School.
“I am confident that Philip will be a strong addition to the Global Leadership Team of LEO Pharma.

He will retire from the company to pursue opportunities as a professional board member and advisor. Anders shared his intent to retire with the Chair of the Board of Directors in the Autumn of 2021 to ensure a timely onboarding of a suitable successor who can support LEO Pharma in achieving its long-term ambitions.
“I would like to thank Anders very much for his strong commitment to LEO Pharma over the years and his dedication to supporting the business in helping more people living with skin conditions. I wish him all the best of luck in his future endeavors”, said Christophe Bourdon.
