Evotec - Research never stops

Dr Klaus Maleck

Dr Klaus Maleck joined the Evotec Management Board in April 2007 and became CFO in November 2007. From August 2010, he assumed responsibility for corporate development, focusing on M&A, strategy and licensing. Prior to Evotec, he built up BioGeneriX AG, which he co-founded in 2000. In his function as Chief Financial Officer and Vice President Business Development, he was responsible for in-licensing advanced development candidates and for building a product pipeline of up to six clinical development programs and several non-clinical projects, including two product approvals. He secured financing through extensive partnering and closed several co-marketing deals with big pharma, and thus was able to considerably increase the shareholder value. Dr Maleck worked as a Senior Consultant at McKinsey & Co. from 1999 to 2000, and as a Scientist in the genomics field at Novartis, Inc. from 1996 to 1999. He is also a lecturer at the Mannheim University in Economics. Dr Maleck is Chairman of Supervisory Board of the European Screening Port.

Dr Maleck received his Ph.D. in biotechnology from the Max-Planck-Insitute Cologne, and holds a Masters degree in biotechnology of the Ecole Supérieure de Biotechnologie in Strasbourg France. In addition, he received post-graduate training in economics at Ashridge College in the UK, and at Swiss-based Educatis University, where he earned an MBA degree. He was a fellow of the Conseil Régional d'Alsace, the Daimler-Benz-Foundation and the German Scholarship Foundation.
