Cherry Valley, ILLINOIS (June 23, 2025) – Ipsen USA President and CEO Patrick McKenna has announced his decision to leave the company to pursue another opportunity. Ipsen Group CEO Geoffrey Somary will assume the responsibilities of Ipsen USA CEO in addition to his current role leading the global organization.
“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 said. “His efforts have supported the continued momentum of Ipsen’s 77-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 U.S. organization, he provides consistency and alignment with Ipsen’s global strategy.
