Leadership
Carlo de Notaristefani, CIRM
President, Technical Operations and Global Support Functions
Carlo de Notaristefani is responsible for the Bristol-Myers Squibb Technical Operations organization, which meets the company’s complex supply chain challenges. Technical Operations plays a critical role in the company’s transformation into an increasingly agile and productive discoverer, developer and provider of innovative new medicines. Carlo's responsibilities for Global Support Functions encompass Global Facilities and Engineering, Global Procurement and Information Management Shared Services.
“As a developing next-generation BioPharma leader,” says Carlo, “we are introducing new products and new technologies. We are moving into new markets. And we are experiencing more strictly regulated environments and higher volatility in those markets. More than ever before, Technical Operations plays a critical role in the success of the company.”
Carlo joined Bristol-Myers Squibb in early 2004 from Aventis Pharmaceuticals, where he was senior vice president of Global Finishing Solids. He spent nearly 20 years of his career at Aventis and its predecessors, Hoechst Marion Roussel and Marion Merrel Dow.
At Bristol-Myers Squibb, Carlo was appointed to the position of senior vice president of Global Manufacturing Operations in June 2004 and he assumed the position of president of Technical Operations in September 2004.
“Technical Operations plays a key role in fulfilling our mission to help patients prevail over serious diseases. And to do that, we must be absolutely compliant with all regulations and our own exacting standards, and we must flawlessly supply medicines to our customers. We need to be able to do that every day, every time a patient needs a medicine.”
Carlo is a certified professional engineer and holds a doctoral degree in engineering from the University of Naples, Italy. Through the course of his career, Carlo has moved across the Atlantic Ocean five times. He now resides happily in New Jersey. He and his wife have two grown sons.
