In 2019, Janis Meikšáns assumed the commercial operations of Teva Hungary and over the past three years, he brought his extensive industry experience to the company to make it an even more successful business.

Janis Meikšáns spoke about his years in Hungary: "It was a pleasure to participate in Teva's strong development in Hungary and continued commitment to sustainable delivery of life saving medicines to Hungarian patients. Only last year we have celebrated completion of two large investments in our manufacturing sites in Debrecen, which allows Teva to deliver more high quality medicines in the local market and around the world.

Broad portfolio of products, strong and effective distribution network and ensuring customer satisfaction has been the main focus of Teva for past years and will continue to be our priority. Therefore, I am very pleased to appoint Jelena Livsica to the role of General Manager of Teva in Hungary. I am confident that Jelena, with her multi-market experience in leading customer centric organization and management of highly effective partnerships with key business stakeholders is the right person to move the business forward and continue our transformation driven by customer-centric philosophy."
