BioNTech, the German biotech that rose to fame when it partnered with Pfizer on a Covid 19 vaccine, named Novartis executive Ramón Zapata-Gomez as chief financial officer, succeeding Jens Holstein upon the latter's retirement in June.

The company had previously disclosed Holstein's plans to retire on June 30, at which time Zapata-Gomez, who has served as the chief financial officer of Swiss drug maker's Novartis's biomedical research unit since 2022.

Zapata-Gomez's experience will help BioNTech reinvent itself as a multi-product company with an emphasis on oncology, the company said. In addition to his work at Novartis, Zapata-Gomez has held financial positions at generic-drug maker Sandoz AG, and consumer-products giant Mondelēz International.
