Our History

CELforPharma was founded in 2005 by Luc De Langhe and Edouard Demeire after they discovered an interesting niche in pharma’s landscape for executive training: short duration courses by esteemed experts on business-critical topics, i.e. topics that impact business growth and/or strategic decisions.

For that, Luc capitalised on his international network built throughout his career in professional services for the pharma industry (business intelligence, conferences and executive development). Edouard contributed from the start as a faculty member with expertise in pharmaceutical marketing planning and with insights from his executive training for Roche all over the world.

Here is a look back at some of the milestones we have reached on our journey so far...
