Dr. Hande Demirdere

As General Manager of Pierre Fabre UK & Ireland, I bring over a decade of international experience spanning the pharmaceutical and dermo-cosmetics industries. Having worked across diverse and dynamic markets such as Turkey, Russia, CIS, India, China, and Singapore, I take pride in my adaptability and proven ability to lead transformative business growth. In my current role, I am focused on expanding Pierre Fabre's presence in the UK and Ireland by introducing innovative products, enhancing market share, and cultivating a strong talent pipeline. A key achievement has been the strategic launch of new brands, positioning us on the path to becoming a "must-win" market within our global organisation—a goal I am deeply committed to achieving. I thrive on challenges and believe in empowering teams to achieve exceptional results. Previously, I spearheaded the turnaround of Pierre Fabre’s Turkish operations, driving substantial growth and earning recognition as a top-performing affiliate. This success motivates my ambition to replicate similar milestones in the UK and Ireland. Beyond my professional endeavours, I am deeply committed to fostering creativity, collaboration, and well-being—values that I bring into my leadership style. Whether that be, through sports and fitness or team-building activities, I believe in cultivating environments where individuals can thrive both mentally and physically. These pursuits underscore my belief in holistic growth and strengthen my ability to inspire and empower teams. As a champion of innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth, I am committed to making a meaningful impact at Pierre Fabre UK & Ireland and within the wider industry.
