Louise Bertelsen Forman is an equity partner and attorney at the law firm Loeven, which specializes in the life science field. With over 10 years of experience in the industry, Louise is known for her "can-do attitude" and extensive industry knowledge, which has led to impressive results and a position as one of the leading lawyers in the life science field in Denmark. Louise is a board member of Life Science Law DK and Loeven Advokatfirma, and in addition to her legal career, she has experience from her previous role as an attorney in Corporate Legal Life Science & Business Development at H. Lundbeck A/S.
Louise characterizes herself as having an interest in science and healthcare, as well as a strong value-driven mindset. She is motivated to collaborate with companies that work to revolutionize areas of disease and make a difference for patients.
Privately, Louise is married and has two children, and comes from a family of pharmacists and pharmacy owners with roots in Funen and West Jutland.
At the end of last year, DanCann Pharma received approval for its facilities in Ansager and is rapidly approaching its commercial breakthrough after the EU-GMP certification of Biotech Pharm1. With the future DanCann Pharma is facing, it has been a priority for the Company to further strengthen its regulatory focus.
Carsten Trads, Chairman of DanCann Pharma, comments:
- The future for DanCann Pharma looks promising as the Pilot Programme for the manufacturing of medicinal cannabis has become permanent in Denmark. The Company has invested significantly in production facilities that are "fit for purpose" and wants to launch more products and optimize and maximize the value of their existing products. There will be a strong focus on market access and brand maximization in Denmark and Europe in the near future.
- As the company enters the market, its competencies and skills in the regulatory aspects become increasingly relevant. And here, Louise brings unique competencies and industry knowledge that will be a big asset in the board.
Louise Bertelsen Forman says:
- The cannabis industry has been a field of growth and has attracted significant attention since the inception of the Pilot Programme. DanCann Pharma is considered one of the pioneers here at home and is in an exciting place with a well-managed team, a GMP-approved production, and products that are maturing and increasing in the market. With the expectations that DanCann Pharma has for the future, the regulatory focus will be central, and I look forward to contributing to the Company's growth with my experience from established pharmaceutical companies and biotech companies.
Jeppe Krog Rasmussen, CEO of DanCann Pharma, concludes:
- DanCann Pharma's ultimate goal is to establish a sustainable business that can make a difference for the patient groups that the company serves. To reach more relevant patients, we as an industry have an obligation to support increased clinical experience and to increase the evidence base. It is also important that we closely follow political processes and contribute our expertise. Since Louise has extensive experience with these matters, I have great confidence that she, as part of the upcoming board, will be able to contribute to this work.
The Company will hold its annual general meeting on May 30, 2023, where Louise is running for the board of directors in DanCann Pharma.
