Teva hires BMS' Levin in quest for bigger share of pharmaceuticals market

Phillip Frost wants a bigger bite of the global drug market for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, which is why the board chairman and other directors hired Jeremy Levin to be the next chief executive officer of the world's largest generic manufacturer.Levin leaves Bristol-Myers Squibb, where he helped engineer the company's "string-of-pearls strategy," in which it forged successful partnership and licensing agreements with other companies.In choosing a doctor with a scientific and dealmaking background, Frost said, the Teva board wants to profit more from its move into different areas, including more branded drugs and over-the-counter products through a marketing deal with Procter & Gamble, while squeezing more out of its long-held global lead in the generic-drug market.
