Aachen, Germany – Grünenthal, a global leader in pain management and related diseases, has announced the appointment of Maren Thurow as the new Vice President and Head of Global Communications. Thurow will be taking over the role from Florian Dieckmann, who has been instrumental in shaping the company’s Communications department since 2021. Thurow will report directly to CEO Gabriel Baertschi and will be responsible for overseeing all communications operations across Grünenthal’s markets.
This appointment comes at a crucial time for Grünenthal as the company continues to experience exceptional growth and success.

Grünenthal is also focused on accelerating growth in its Qutenza™ and Established Brands while effectively integrating Valinor Pharma and pursuing further strategic acquisitions.
Thurow joined Grünenthal in 2021 as Head of Global Commercial Communication and has since held the role of Planning Director for the company’s commercial organization. She brings a wealth of experience to her new position, having previously served as a Director at FleishmanHillard, one of the world’s leading global PR firms.
Grünenthal is headquartered in Aachen, Germany, and has affiliates in 28 countries across Europe, Latin America, and the U.S. The company’s products are available in approximately 100 countries, and in 2024, it employed around 4,300 people, achieving revenues of €1.8 billion.
In her new role, Thurow will play a critical role in furthering the company’s mission to change lives for the better through innovative treatments and state-of-the-art technologies.
