The thesis
Why this org is unusual
The most distinctive feature of Viatris’ structure is that all four geographic market segments ultimately roll up through the Chief Commercial Officer to the CEO rather than operating as semi-autonomous divisional CEOs.
This keeps P&L accountability tightly centralized at the top.
