May 8, 2026: In a move that signals a “People-First” approach to corporate independence, Sandoz has appointed Aarti A. Kapoor to lead its Global People & Organization Operations. This transition is a centerpiece in Sandoz’s journey as a standalone leader in generics and biosimilars.

With over two decades of high-impact leadership at PepsiCo, Amazon, and McDonald’s, Kapoor is tasked with a significant mandate: institutionalizing a lean, agile HR delivery model that supports a global workforce from India.

Following her appointment, Aarti reflected on the significance of joining Sandoz at such a pivotal moment:

“I am thrilled to join Sandoz at this exciting juncture as it embarks on its journey as an independent company. My focus will be on building a robust and agile People & Organization operations framework that empowers our talent and supports our mission to be the world’s leading generics and biosimilars company.”
