Gilead Sciences named former Sanofi executive Dietmar Berger as chief medical officer, effective Jan. 2, succeeding Merdad Parsey.

Berger had held the same role at Sanofi, where he was also global head of development, leading development science strategy and operations across the company's therapeutic area of focus. Prior to that, Berger held senior development roles at Atara, Genentech, Bayer and Amgen.

The Foster City, Calif.-based biopharmaceutical company said that Berger will be responsible for its virology, oncology and inflammation portfolio and will also oversee the company's global-development and medical-affairs organizations.

Gilead in July said that Parsey, who joined the company in 2019, would leave the company in early 2025.
