June 25, 2025
Patrick McKenna, president and CEO of Ipsen USA, based in Cherry Valley, Illinois, has announced his decision to leave the company to pursue another opportunity. Going forward, Ipsen Group CEO Geoffrey Somary will assume the responsibilities of Ipsen USA CEO in addition to his current role leading the global organisation.
“We would like to thank Patrick for his dedication and many contributions to Ipsen’s success as CEO over the last eight and a half years,” Somary stated. “His efforts have supported the continued momentum of Ipsen’s seventy-seven-year legacy of innovation, service, and excellence.”
Somary, who previously served as CEO of Ipsen USA from 2009 to 2017, has been working closely with McKenna over the past several weeks to ensure a smooth transition for employees and customers. By stepping in to oversee the US organisation, he is expected to provide consistency and alignment with Ipsen’s global strategy.
“We regret that Patrick is leaving but look to leverage a flatter organisational structure to speed up innovation and customer responsiveness,” Somary continued. “I look forward to the inspiring and exciting days ahead, working with the best team in the industry.”
