That changed in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, India's largest export market, where demand fell by two-thirds, to less than 88 million lbs. (40 million kg) per year.

Lee Grady, was slightly amused that anyone would think Copeland would be a burden...
Vasella has also revamped Novartis' marketing force in the U.S., where it long lagged behind competitors. He poached Paulo Costa from Johnson & Johnson in 1999 and made him CEO of Novartis' U.S. drug unit. Since then, Costa's sales force has grown to 5,800 from 2,815. The payoff? Drug sales in the U.S. grew 24% last year...
