Early life and education

The son of Erich von Baumbach and Ulrike Boehringer, Hubertus von Baumbach is also a great-grandson of the company's founder Albert Boehringer.[1] He has a law degree and an MBA from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[3][2]

Career

Baumbach joined Boehringer Ingelheim in 2001.[3]

In November 2015, it was announced that Baumbach, who had been CFO, was appointed as chief executive, succeeding Andreas Barner in June 2016.[1][2] At the time, this made him the first member of the family at the helm in 25 years.[4] Within his first six months, he launched the biggest acquisition in the company's history (an asset swap deal with French rival Sanofi), followed by a reorganization to give the group a more decentralized divisional structure.[5]
