Change in Orion Group Executive Team as of 8 April 2026 – Berkeley Vincent appointed Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicines

Orion Corporation (“Orion”) has appointed Berkeley Vincent as Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicines and a member of the Orion Executive Team as of 8 April 2026.

The appointment is part of a leadership structure change in which the previously combined role of R&D and Innovative Medicines is split into two dedicated positions. This change reflects the continued growth and maturation of Orion’s Innovative Medicines pipeline and the increasing need to strengthen focus on global commercialization readiness. Outi Vaarala will continue in her role as Executive Vice President, R&D, and as a member of the Orion Executive Team.

In his new role, Berkeley Vincent will be responsible for defining and implementing global commercialization strategies for Orion’s Innovative Medicines portfolio. His responsibilities include full P&L ownership, global launch sequencing, market access strategy, and the development of strategic partnerships, including licensing and acquisitions. He will work closely with R&D leadership to align development priorities with commercial and market needs.

Berkeley Vincent brings more than 20 years of international pharmaceutical industry experience from senior global, regional and country leadership roles at Johnson & Johnson. Most recently, he served as President, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicines Canada, with full P&L responsibility. He has previously held roles including Managing Director of the Nordic cluster and Global Commercial Leader for IMBRUVICA.

Berkeley Vincent will be based in Finland and will report to Orion’s President and CEO, Liisa Hurme.
