Executive Summary
Mylan Inc. CEO Robert J. Coury demonstrated his ability to be a trendsetter when Mylan acquired Matrix Laboratories in 2007 at the highest value - at the time - for an India pharmaceutical company. Though doubted for that move and the next - of buying Merck KGaA's generics business for $6.8 billion, Coury now boasts of establishing a global generics footprint with a one-of-a-kind vertically integrated platform to build maximum operational efficiencies.
