Thank you Jeffrey for accepting our "rendez-vous." May I first ask you to introduce yourself?
I was born in New York City in 1942. I attended the State University of New York at Buffalo, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences where I obtained a Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1973.
Prior to joining Brown & Williamson I held senior management positions with a number of leading health care companies, including Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and Merck.
From December 1988 to March 1993 I served as Vice-president for Research and Development for Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation, owned by London based BAT.
