Dragos Damian has been Terapia’s commercial manager over the last two years, having kept this position at Terapia Ranbaxy after the takeover.

At the same time, my goal will be to modernise the entire activity of the company, which numbers more than 1,000 employees.” Damian said his medium-term plan was to prepare Terapia Ranbaxy to become a strong platform for the Romanian pharmaceutical market, as well as for other pharmaceutical markets in the European Union.
