Background

About Andreas Kopp

My name is Andreas, and I am a senior executive specializing in global supply chain, procurement, and operations —particularly within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. I bring a strong track record of leading complex international supply chains, building resilient procurement strategies, and delivering sustainable growth, margin expansion, and €multi-million cost savings across global markets. Currently, I advise investors and pharmaceutical companies on long- and mid-term operations and procurement strategies, while also supporting clients as an executive interim manager. In this dual role, I offer both strategic insight at board level and immediate hands-on leadership to stabilize, transform, and elevate supply chain functions. With deep experience across generics, OTC, and consumer health, and strong international supplier and CMO networks, I support organizations in shifting from reactive, fragmented operations to forward-looking, data-driven, end-to-end supply chain models that enable scalability, risk resilience, and regulatory compliance. Selected Achievements: Pharmathen Group: Led global supply chain & Procurement transformation across Europe and the U.S, launching 505b2 with a tenfold sales in the US, saving over €50M, and supporting a successful private equity exit.
