Claus Thomsen

CIO, Senior Vice President, Lundbeck

At Lundbeck, CIO Claus Thomson has reduced his own IT team to a skeleton crew. This gives Lundbeck the flexibility to quickly shift priorities and focus on the digital projects that provide the best value. At heart, Lundbeck is a company born from biology. For more than 50 years, the core of Lundbeck’s business has been the composition of pharmaceutical products and the health benefits they provide. And Lundbeck’s CIO, Claus Thomsen, keeps that in mind as he navigates the digital course for the company. Lundbeck has chosen to digitalize based on four distinct tracks: Administration, Production & Supply Chain, Research & Development and Sales. All digital initiatives are funded through one of the four tracks, which ensures a clear ownership and senior level sponsorship, with the four top executives providing the necessary investment muscle to launch projects and keep them going.
