Касается кандидатуры на позицию Менеджера по Экспорту Россия и Снг

 

 

Уважаемые Дамы и Господа!

 

 Увлечён Россией с самого детства я  всегда изучаю аналитические записки Франко-российской торгово-промышленной палаты , с повторяемым интересом. Их содержание оказывается реальным показателем экономических, промышленных и геополитических интересов, в начале 21-го века.

Специалист по продажам, я был тестирован моими предыдущими работодателями. В настоящще время я значительно накапливаю  не менее двадцатилетнего опыта работы, в Фармацевтической промышленности, на французском рынке, в качестве Медицинского Представителя. Большинство моих ключевых навыков  преимущественно являются поперечными, так, что я в ближайшее время могу использовать их на экспорт.

Действительно, в феврале 2013 года, я был уволен с работы, по экономическим причинам.  Поняв что означает глобализация рынков, я немедленно  решил взять судьбу в свои руки. Выпускник степени магистра по  Международному Менеджменту, связы с Азией, (Университета Гавра), в сентябре 2015 года, я следовательно работал в Консалтинговой фирме, в сфере управления Человеческими Ресурсами, сначала в качестве Референта-консультанта по бизнесу с Россией и Снг, затем Менеджера по обучению и развитию бизнеса.

Свободен от всяких профессиональных обязанностей, в настоящее время, мне  хотелось бы  выдвинуть свою глубокую индивидуальную мотивацию, совершенно совпадающую с типом разыскиваемого поста. «Мотивация - это профессиональный навык, который осуществляется на индивидуальном уровне. » Она  действительно  является плодом медленного созревания, и находится в соответствии с коллективной  мотивацией компании, в которой я скоро буду  работать референтом.

Следовательно, с настоящего времени, Я предлагаю предоставить в Ваше распоряжение: экспертный опыт, гибкость и способность адаптироваться к существующим условиям, оперативность, стабильность, скромность, динамизм, географическую мобильность, смысл обязательства и переговоров.

Всякая предлогаемая миссия,короткая , длинная, или в той или иной сфере деятельности,   будет рассмотрена  с тем же интересом.

Прилагаемое резюме  Вам даст подробную информацию о моей кандидатуре. Я в Вашем полном распоряжении для того, чтобы договориться о встрече.                                                                                                         

                                                                   С  Уважением

Prospects in the Russian pharmaceutical industry 

 

Features of the Russian market and why is it so interesting for new investments?

 

Russia is the main market in the CIS with good prospects for the coming years. With a population of 145 million, it is the largest pharmaceutical market in Central and Eastern Europe.

This recent upward trend – which is likely to continue in line with the economic recovery – has been driven by government measures to provide health care to the most vulnerable citizens and to keep up-to-date with the most advanced therapeutic treatment.
The growth rate of the local economy, together with the general improvement of living conditions and the relatively stable political environment make the Russian pharmaceutical industry a target at which all players are aiming:  it is the seventh largest European pharmaceutical market with an average growth rate of more than 25 percent over the past five years.
 We expect pharmaceutical spending to increase significantly in the coming years: currently the per capita spending on pharmaceuticals is about one tenth the average of Western European countries, and so there is substantial room for growth.
Russian pharmaceutical industry overhauled by new law
Deputy Duma Speaker Oleg Morozov said the bill has three overarching goals - to protect the market from counterfeit pharmaceuticals, stimulate the development of the Russian pharmaceutical industry and enable the population to buy pharmaceuticals at affordable prices.
It will also streamline drug development by scrapping preliminary pre-production quality checks, which are currently required in addition to post-production checks. While experts have expressed concern that this move may affect the quality of drugs produced, the Ministry of Health has said that it will mean producers can get drugs out on the market more easily.
Furthermore, Russian pharmaceutical companies will be required to meet European quality standards by January 1, 2014. In an interview with the health supplement of Vzglyad newspaper, Health Ministry Official Mikhailova said that the state will assist manufacturers in this transition to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to ensure medicines remain available to consumers.
She also sought to allay fears that under the new rules the introduction of foreign drugs on the Russian market would be delayed by five to seven years due to requirements for clinical testing, describing this as “nothing more than speculation”.
The Russian pharmaceutical industry gets boost from government funding
The bill passed in its second reading and Olga Borzova, who heads the Duma Committee on Health, remarked that while the Russian pharmaceutical industry disagreed with the initial composition of the law, it approved of the revised version.
Speaking in the Duma, Health Minister Tatiana Golikova said that regional authorities would be obliged to inform the population about the prices for pharmaceuticals and publish a price list available at each pharmacy.
Key points:
Medicine prices will be standardized and stabilized
Government to set a max. price on 500 ‘vital’ drugs
Pharmaceutical companies must register by April 1
European production standards must be met
New medicine must be registered within 210 days 
Registration of new medicine tariffs more than halved
Pharma 2020
Incuron’s Skolkovo grant is part of the Russian government’s Pharma 2020 Strategy to encourage growth in the Russian pharmaceutical industry. Under the plan, the government is helping local companies boost production of innovative drugs by covering the costs of R&D. In doing so, the Russian government hopes to foster the development of new companies that will be capable of attracting investment, creating new jobs and producing competitive, safe, high quality and affordable products for patients.
If the progress continues in the Russian pharmaceutical industry then by 2020, the local industry could be responsible for 50 percent of drugs in circulation, 80 percent of which would be domestically-developed. While the strategy will require a great deal of investment from the federal budget, the government is also trying to attract funds from international pharmaceutical companies. Significant improvements have already been realized as the industry grew by 17.5 percent in 2009 and is expected to reach a value of $10.7 billion by 2014.
Russian pharmaceutical industry expands with new Novartis manufacturing plant
As part of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum (SPIEF) Russian Economic Minister Elvira Nabiullina and St. Petersburg Governor Valentina Matvienko joined Novartis executives to lay the first brick of the company’s new manufacturing plant at a groundbreaking ceremony in the St. Petersburg special economic zone, Novo-Orlovskoe.
Novartis, which is expanding its investments in research and development as well as public health collaborations with the Russian government, said the deal deepens its commitment to becoming the leading healthcare partner in the Russian pharmaceutical industry in its support of government healthcare reform efforts. Company representatives noted that Novartis’relationship with Russia allows it to expand itscommercial presence for long-term growth in what they called “a key emerging market.” 
Minister Nabiullina asserted that the deal highlighted the potential of Russia’s pharmaceutical market, saying, “Today the volume of Russia’s pharmaceutical market is about $22 billion and many estimates say consumption in this industry will grow.” Novartis announced its $500 million commitment to Russia last December and signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saint-Petersburg administration to localize manufacturing in the city. 
It is expected to take a year to a year and a half before the facility is fully operational. Of the total $500 investment planned for a 5-year period, $150 million will be allotted for plant construction, and the rest of the funds will go towards R&D collaborations and public health initiatives. The plant is intended to manufacture both generic and brand name medicines. Novartis Chief Executive Director Joseph Jimenez said the company expects to produce 1.5 billion items a year, but will decide exactly which medicines will be produced at the plant later this summer.
Novartis is not the only company looking to expand the Russian pharmaceutical industry; there are currently nine other pharmaceutical plants in the design or construction stages in St. Petersburg alone. The first of these plants is expected to open within the next two years, and total investment in these projects will cost approximately $910 million. 
This impressive growth is largely a result of regional efforts to develop St. Petersburg as a pharmaceutical cluster. Governor Matvienko explained that the government intends “to set up a full-fledged pharmaceutical cluster in two to three years” as part of the government-run “Pharma 20-20” program. 
Russian health care and pharmaceutical industry 
During a visit to Kozelsk in Kaluga Region on October 20, President Dmitry Medvedev said developing modern Russian-produced medicines and medical equipment was one of the most important aspects of technical modernization.

The pharmaceutical sector is a key focus of Medvedev’s modernization project and is maintaining double digit growth as the government implements the
Pharma 2020
project, which aims to increase the competitiveness of the domestic market.

Meanwhile, thanks to sustained investment and the government’s
Health 2020
strategy, Russian health care has improved markedly over the past few years. Since 2005, the government has spent $19 billion on improving the Russian health care system.


Below are some highlights of Russia’s progress in this area and further goals:


Since launching Health  Pharma 2020 Russia has:
  • Quadrupled health care spending since 2001
  • Allocated nearly $1 billion (30 billion roubles) to develop 14 high-tech medical centers in Russia’s regions including cardiology centers in Astrakhan, Khabarovsk, Krasnoyarsk and Kaliningrad and a neurosurgery center in Tyumen
  • Invested in preventative medical services and launched national campaigns to discourage bad habits such as smoking and excessive drinking
  • Invested more than $28 million in efforts to combat the spread of infectious diseases throughout the former Soviet Union and $250 billion in malaria and AIDS vaccine development
  • Increased domestic production of sophisticated medical technologies, with a JV between GE Healthcare and Meditsinskiye Technologii unveiling its first domestically assembled CT scanner in September
  • Decreased infant mortality by a third and increased average life expectancy by three years
