November 03, 2026, Zug, Switzerland – Galderma Group AG (SIX:GALD), the pure-play dermatology category leader, today announced proposed changes to its Board of Directors, aimed at further strengthening its governance and supporting its long-term growth. The company also announced that Luigi La Corte, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has decided to leave Galderma to pursue a significant new opportunity.


Luigi La Corte will continue to fulfil his responsibilities as CFO during the transition period, supporting business continuity and a smooth handover. The company will communicate further details regarding succession arrangements and the transition timeline in due course.

The Board of Directors is proposing the election of Rosalind Brewer and Petra Rumpf as new Board members. Both candidates bring extensive leadership and governance experience, alongside expertise spanning consumer-facing businesses, healthcare, medtech and life sciences. As Galderma advances its ambition to become the undisputed dermatology powerhouse, spanning the fast-growing market of Injectable Aesthetics, Dermatological Skincare and Therapeutic Dermatology, these proposed appointments reflect the company’s commitment to strengthening its Board with the capabilities and perspectives to support its next phase of growth.

“I would like to thank Luigi for his contributions to Galderma and his commitment to supporting a smooth transition. We remain focused on executing our Integrated Dermatology Strategy and delivering against our priorities. Building on our strong momentum, including our recent inclusion in the Swiss Market Index (SMI), the proposed appointments of Rosalind Brewer and Petra Rumpf to our Board of Directors would bring valuable additional expertise and perspectives to our Board, further strengthening our governance and supporting Galderma’s long-term ambitions.” FLEMMING ØRNSKOV, M.D., MPH, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, GALDERMA

Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)

After seven years of service, Sherilyn McCoy will be stepping down from the Board of Directors due to conflicting obligations. The Board is thus proposing a number of items aimed at further strengthening its governance. These include increasing the maximum size of the Board of Directors from 10 to 11 members and the election of Rosalind Brewer and Petra Rumpf as members of the Board of Directors until the completion of the next Annual General Meeting. The Board is also proposing the individual election of Rosalind Brewer as a member of the Compensation Committee.

Galderma published the agenda and invitation to an EGM, which will be held virtually on December 3, 2026, at 14:00 CET. For further details please consult the 2026 EGM invitation at https://investors.galderma.com/.
