BMS CCO Murdo Gordon to be named new CEO













Bristol-Myers Squibb is locked in some pretty big marketing battles—but it’ll have to soldier on without its commercial leader.

On Monday, the New Jersey drugmaker said EVP and chief commercial officer Murdo Gordon would leave the company in early August for another job. As for a successor, the company said only that “the announcement of a new chief commercial officer will be the subject of a separate communication at a later date.”


Gordon has been with the drugmaker for decades, starting first with its Canada branch in 1989 before jumping over to the U.S. in 2003. Since then, he’s held a number of sales and marketing jobs, including SVP of U.S. oncology, U.S. president and head of worldwide markets. Gordon stepped into the commercial chief role in July 2016.
