Team

Alexandra Gerke

 I have been working in the Pharmaceutical Industry for 27 years, gaining expertise and leadership skills at Pharma Gerke GmbH and European Pharma B.V. 
During my 23-year tenure as managing director, I successfully transformed the companies from financial difficulties to highly profitable enterprises with over 160 dedicated employees. 

Due to my excellent contacts to European wholesalers and pharmacies I have earned admiration for sourcing stock and for my commitment to excellence and success. 

I have consistently navigated complex challenges and achieved impressive sales results in the pharmaceutical domain. 

In 2019, I successfully sold both business, showcasing my industry acumen. 

Now, I have taken on a new role as Managing Director of Pharm AS Consulting GmbH, where I plan to utilize my vast experience to provide insightful consulting services. My track record and dedication to excellence demonstrate my capabilities, and I'm eager to contribute my expertise to clients and the broader pharmaceutical landscape.

I  possess more than three decades of experience in the global pharmaceutical industry, with a focus on UK, European, and international markets. I have held various roles, ultimately becoming the Sales Director of a UK-based pharmaceutical wholesaler.

 In 2005 I  shifted towards Pharmaceutical Importing and Exporting, excelling in the export business between 2006 and 2011. As a managing Director I then bought the company  In 2012. I was then able to successful sell the business in 2021.

My comprehensive expertise and leadership highlights my own  dynamic journey in the pharmaceutical industry.

I now advocate for expanding into the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), due to the untapped potential.
