Emmanuelle Quilès is Worldwide Vice President, Cardiovascular, Metabolism and Pulmonary Hypertension. In this role, working closely with R&D, Emmanuelle is focusing on maximizing the value of Janssen’s Cardiovascular & Metabolism (CVM) and Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) pipelines and marketed assets.
Emmanuelle joined Johnson & Johnson as Managing Director of Janssen France in January 2015. She was President of the Janssen Horizon Endowment Fund, member of the LEEM Board of Directors and Vice-President of the Agipharm Board, which brings together the American pharmaceutical companies.
Since 2019, she has also been a member of the GIP Génopole's Industry Science Innovation Committee, the President of the “Artificial Intelligence and Heath” program within the Strategic Committee for Health Industries and Technologies and a member of Business France Board.
Emmanuelle began her career as a clinical research associate first at Rhône-Poulenc, then at Pierre Fabre and then at Genetics Institute until Wyeth bought the company. She then held marketing positions in the Hemophilia field, an area previously unknown to her new employer.
After a successful period in this therapeutic area, she developed into increasingly important roles in various fields (anti-infectives, oncology, neurology) until she was appointed head of Wyeth's largest franchise, the Rheumatology and Dermatology Business Unit.
In November 2007, Emmanuelle was appointed CEO of Wyeth France, and, after Pfizer's acquisition, she was confirmed as President of Pfizer France, the world leader in the pharmaceutical industry.
In December 2012, she left Pfizer to set up Harmonium, a European start-up specialized in diabetology.
Emmanuelle holds a Degree of Biotechnological Engineer from Strasbourg University. She is a Knight of the Legion of Honor.
