Regional Director Americas (Pharma)

Regional Director Americas (Pharma)

CPHI AMERICAS is one of the most important events for the world's largest pharmaceutical event portfolio (CPHI), representing the industry's innovation, scale, and impact. As we embark on a transformative journey, the event is evolving from an exhibition-first format to an experience-led, content-driven, and networking-focused platform. This transformation is part of a broader strategy to grow the event, create value for stakeholders, and ensure its long-term sustainability.

The Regional Director will play a pivotal role in leading the full operations of CPHI in the US, including direct oversight of the Event and Commercial teams. This role is inherently transformative, requiring a visionary leader who can drive immediate commercial success for the 2026 event while spearheading the strategic growth of the Pharma event and business in the US for 2027 and beyond.

In addition to growing the Americas business, the Regional Director will be responsible for ensuring that US-based revenue and attendees across other global events quadruple by 2030. This market-facing, market-making role demands deep engagement with external stakeholders, including key accounts, industry associations, and government entities, to ensure alignment with market needs and maximize the impact of CPHI AMERICAS and other global events.

The ideal candidate will possess strong pharmaceutical industry knowledge, exceptional leadership skills, and the ability to inspire and lead cross-functional teams while driving strategic growth, operational excellence, and stakeholder engagement.
