The BWM 2018 CEO awards seek to identify and honour the most respected C-level executives across the globe, across a variety of sectors. Rather than focusing on companies, the awards celebrate the skills and attributes of the individuals at their helm; inspiring others to achieve similar successes. The awarding panel were delighted to recognise Mr Zwyer in both categories, praising him for innovative leadership and a clear commitment to improving lives.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is a highly genetic, brain-based syndrome characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. According to American Journal of Psychiatry 2007, in the USA, approximately 6.4 million people under the age of 18 have been diagnosed with ADHD at some point at their lives while over 10 million adults in the USA suffer with ADHD as per a report by the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 2014.
NLS-1 Pharma AG is a Swiss-based clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing innovative and more effective, safer treatments for ADHD and other CNS disorders. Behavioural disorders like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affect children and adults and impacts negatively across all aspects of their life, from schooling to work to relationships. Most treated patients in the USA currently take stimulants which have a significant risk of abuse, misuse and diversion and other associated safety risks. Safer and more convenient treatment options are important and can significantly affect the quality of life for children and adults affected by this condition. This dilemma is why a company like NLS matters.
When asked the secret of the company's success to date, Mr Zwyer puts it down to two important overarching factors; an outstanding team and a patient centred approach. "We are fortunate enough to have an all-star team of research, drug development and commercial leaders in our organisation, with patients at the heart of everything we do. We strive to find better and safer treatment options and will not rest until we have an effective, safe way of managing ADHD" he said.
