• The main objective of the Business Unit Head, Skeletal Conditions – Brazil is to lead BioMarin’s Skeletal Conditions (SC) business across the vosoritide (Voxzogo) portfolio, ensuring the right strategies are in place at each stage of product evolution and in close collaboration with regional and global brand teams.
