Did Rick Bohner ever work for Novartis?

About 15 years ago?

 

Who cares

 

I don't think so. Rick started at Synthes in the 1995-1997 area, pretty sure he wasn't art Novartis before Synthes.

 

don't think so. i think he was at smith-klein early in his career. maybe american health products too if i remember correctly. genuinely hope he and his family are getting along as best they can.

 

Same here. He surely was a good guy who truly cared about compliance, and to see him end up in jail taking the fall for others is just a shame.

 

Absolutely. he worked for Sandoz for 9 years before Synthes and after Smith Kline

 

Why so bitter?

 

Considering all the crap that happened under his watch the question should be did he ever work?

 

Wow - what did he ever do to you?

 

The same can be said of many in Synthes leadership ranks: Gennett, Gross, Gruskin, etc.

 

The point is that he didn't do much, period!

 

Thank you

 

Bonner was VP of Operations at Sandoz at East Hanover, NJ late 1980s. Sandoz became part of Novartis.

 

Bohner was a decent enough guy. Face it, he did what most people would do in his situation, cash his huge check and do whatever Wyss told him to do. The only person that didn't was Rob Douse, who walked out one day without explanation and never came back. It became obvious a few years later that he was getting out before the Norian thing blew up.
