More Ex-Schering-Plough Talent Departing New Merck


This time, the geography is Europe; the functional role is Human Resources and the beneficiary of the bust-up's turmoil is Shire Pharmaceuticals -- per PharmaLive, earlier today:

. . . .Ms. GrĂ¡inne Higgins brings over 20 years of human resources experience to Shire. She was most recently the Regional Human Resources Lead for Merck & Co in Lucerne, Switzerland, where she managed all human resources activities for 31 countries across Europe. Prior to the merger of Merck and Schering-Plough, Ms. Higgins was Vice President of Human Resources for Schering-Plough, Global Animal Health. Higgins joined Schering-Plough in 1997 following the acquisition of Mallinckrodt Veterinary and subsequently moved to New Jersey, where she held various positions of increasing responsibility. Before returning to Europe in 2007, Ms. Higgins led the pre-planning of the integration of Organon BioSciences into Schering Plough. . . .

Look for some more Dutch news -- on old Organon BioSciences NV, in a moment, above.

In addition, yesterday was Jeff Berkowitz' last day at the New Merck. He was legacy SP and headed up Global Market Access as a VP. He was one of the few executives touted by Merck that came along after the merger ... he didn't even last a year.
