Baar, 8 August 2024 – PolyPeptide Group AG (SIX: PPGN), a focused global CDMO for peptide- and oligonucleotide-based active pharmaceutical ingredients, today announced the appointment of Stéphane Varray as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) and member of the PolyPeptide Management Committee (PMC).

As the peptide market is expected to grow rapidly, driven by GLP-1 therapies, there is a need to evolve PolyPeptide’s commercial capabilities and contract sophistication.
