Gruhn is currently vice president of the Eastern Europe region. The appointments will take effect on January 1, 2008.

"We are making these changes at a time when Novo Nordisk is doing well in both Europe and North America and are confident that we have the right leadership to secure our future growth in the two regions," said Kare Schultz, executive vice president and chief operating officer.
