Sanity Group has expanded its management team

Dr. Konstantin Rutz has joined the Sanity Group after more than five years at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where he was a project manager in the Health Care division. He has taken over as Managing Director of Sanity Group’s Medical division. The 36 year old lawyer has several years of experience in the pharmaceutical, life science and medtech sectors and has most recently been particularly involved in pharmaceutical commercial issues.

Alongside Dr. Konstantin Rutz, Tobias Wirth has also joined Sanity Group: He has more than 15 years of sales experience in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly in the indication areas of pain and oncology as well as in the area of medical cannabis, and is now responsible for sales and marketing at Sanity Group’s Medical division. He spent eight years at Teva GmbH in various management roles and was most recently at Cannamedical Pharma GmbH, before joining Sanity Group.

Since May 2022, Laura Simonow, Founder of the functional natural cosmetics brand This Place, has been Managing Director of the Consumer Health division Sanity Care with the brands This Place and VAAY.

Florian Blaschke joined Sanity Group in January 2022 as Chief Finance Officer, responsible for the Group’s finances. Max Narr, who has been with the Sanity Group since 2020 and is Managing Director of the joint venture Endosane Pharmaceuticals, is responsible for Strategy and M&A at Sanity Group as Chief Investment Officer.

The new management structure is also due to the decision of Sanity Group co-founder Fabian Friede to step down from the operational side of the business for personal reasons. Friede will remain with the company as a shareholder and advisor.
