Sanofi's strategy head to retire by month end, as company gears up for December strategic update

While speculation that Sanofi is considering options for its consumer healthcare unit erupts ahead of a planned strategic update next month, it looks like the French drugmaker is losing a senior executive in charge of strategy.

Muzammil Mansuri, executive vice president of strategy, and business development — and member of Sanofi’s executive committee — is set to leave the company by the end of November, Reuters reported on Friday, citing an internal memo.
