Michael Mayes

With over 20 years of experience in legal and compliance, including 15+ in the pharmaceutical industry, and a proven track record of accomplishments in setting healthcare compliance programs both domestically and abroad, I am passionate about empowering Astellas to address unmet patients’ needs in under-served and serious diseases. I strive to create a culture of compliance, empowerment and accountability that encourages our diverse group of exceptional people to bring their best ideas forward to provide meaningful options for patients and society. What excites me every day is the opportunity to do good for others and to empower Astellas to make a profound difference in patients’ lives. As a trusted global pharmaceutical company, we are in the unique position to create and deliver breakthrough science that can change the way diseases are treated and can have an enduring impact on the lives of patients. But we don’t stop there. We are also committed to conducting all our business activities in a manner that abides by the highest ethical, environmental, social and governance standards. I am proud to lead a high-performing team that helps Astellas accomplish our goal of serving patients and society the “right” way.
