Marc Moret
Marc Moret (born November 15, 1923 in Ménières , † March 17, 2006 in Lausanne ) was a Swiss manager .
After graduating from the College of St. Michael in Freiburg , Moret studied at the University of Freiburg and the Sorbonne in Paris, and obtained his doctorate in economics in Freiburg in 1949 . After holding various positions, he joined the pharmaceutical and chemical company Sandoz in Basel in 1968 . In 1981 he was promoted to chairman of the company's management, an office which he held until 1993. He was also Chairman of the Board of Directors from 1985 until Novartis was founded .
Moret came under public criticism in 1986 because the Rhine was contaminated with chemicals after a major fire at the Sandoz plant in Schweizerhalle . He was the main architect of the merger between Sandoz and Ciba-Geigy AG, also based in Basel, to form Novartis AG, which was announced in 1996. It was the largest corporate merger to date. The new company was headed by Daniel Vasella , the husband of a niece of Moret.
A brother of Marc Moret was the composer Norbert Moret (1921-1998).
