Borkowski stated: "Since I began my tenure at Mylan seven years ago, I've had the absolute pleasure to work with Robert Coury and the Mylan management team in executing the company's vision and growth strategy, which has resulted in Mylan's transformation from a U.S.-based generic drug company to a leading global provider of quality generic and specialty pharmaceuticals. We have achieved a great deal over the last several years, and I'm very proud that I've been able to complete all that was asked of me. As Mylan has entered into the next phase of executing on its global operational goals, I believe that it is an appropriate time for me to be able to move on to new challenges. Mylan is well positioned to succeed on the global stage, and I am proud to have been a part of Mylan's continued growth and leadership in the industry."
