Diana Radovan Joins IPC as New Sustainability Policy Director
August 5, 2024 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute

IPC announces the addition of Diana Radovan, Ph.D., to its global advocacy team. As IPC’s new sustainability policy director, Dr. Radovan is responsible for leading the industry’s engagement with government on matters related to sustainability and is based in IPC’s Munich, Germany office.
With an impressive resume, Radovan has 11 years of academic research experience and holds a Ph.D. degree in biophysical chemistry from the Dortmund Technical University. In addition, she has 13 years of regulatory experience in the global R&D industry, chiefly working in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. In her career, she has lead global regulatory affairs for different products and clients, from small-sized companies to large enterprises, authored communications pieces on the day-to-day implementation of emerging regulations and sustainability initiatives, and helped shape and re-envision policies and standard processes, by serving on expert committees and interacting with authorities and regulatory bodies worldwide.
“Our decision to hire Diana, above all, is a testament to her robust credentials; she is skilled in analyzing and distilling complex, technical matters to inform and influence policymakers. It also reflects IPC’s commitment to a global mission with a global team. The EU and European governments are leaders in promoting and regulating sustainability, so it makes sense that our lead advocate should be based there as well,” said Chris Mitchell, IPC vice president of global government relations. “Working closely with IPC’s Lead Sustainability Strategist, Dr. Kelly Scanlon, Diana will help us to continue to provide exceptional membership and industry value through sustainability policy efforts. We are really excited to welcome Diana to IPC.”
