Strong and sustainable leverage
A global team
of unique, world-
class talent.
A key element of Genzyme's commitment to deliver sustained earnings growth is leverage-of scientific capability to identify and deliver high-value therapies; of sales and market development capability to commercialize those therapies; of manufacturing capability to produce them with ever-improving efficiency. In each of these areas, Genzyme capacity is really human capacity- the extraordinary talent, passion and specialized expertise of our more than 10,000 employees worldwide.

DEEP LOCAL MARKET PRESENCE

Genzyme was the first U.S. biotechnology company to introduce therapeutic products in Japan without Japanese partners. Over the course of more than 20 years in Japan, Genzyme has built infrastructure and regulatory expertise-led by Shigetoyo Oguri-that have contributed to the rapid approval and launch of Aldurazyme, Myozyme and Elaprase there, all within one year.

LEVERAGING LSD BREADTH IN SALES

Genzyme goes to market through a relatively small, highly efficient sales force with expertise across multiple therapies-a source of leverage both in marketplace coverage and cost management. After 12 years at Genzyme, Mary Yuska represents all four Genzyme LSD products: Cerezyme, Fabrazyme, Aldurazyme and Myozyme.
