Viktorija Voičenko Takes Over as Chair of the Board at Mēness Aptieka
From 9 November, Viktorija Voičenko leads the board of AS Sentor Farm Aptiekas, which runs the Mēness Aptieka pharmacy chain. For the past six years she was CEO of Kesko Senukai Latvia, and she replaces Vilma Fairclough.
Viktorija Voičenko has started work as chair of the board of AS Sentor Farm Aptiekas, a Latvian pharmaceutical care company that operates the Mēness Aptieka pharmacy chain, effective 9 November. She replaces Vilma Fairclough, who decided on 1 October to pursue new professional challenges after six years with Mēness Aptieka and the Repharm group. The change concerns the leadership of one of Latvia's pharmacy chains.
Board members Ērika Pētersone and Jeļena Petrišina continue in their roles.
Management experience
Voičenko has more than 20 years of experience leading local and international companies. For the past six years she served as CEO of Kesko Senukai Latvia. In that role she gained experience in developing a large retail business, improving operational efficiency, introducing digital solutions and enhancing customer service.
Priorities in the new role
Voičenko says her task is to use her experience to keep developing the pharmacy chain together with the team, improve customer service and make pharmaceutical care more conveniently accessible to residents. In her words, in healthcare a company's growth must go hand in hand with professional, high-quality service, because people entrust the company with their health.
Mantas Jurkus, chair of the board of AS Repharm, says Voičenko joins the management team at an important stage of development and market change. He notes that the company's strategic goal is to help people in Latvia live longer and healthier lives by ensuring access to quality pharmaceutical and healthcare, including in the regions. Jurkus says he is confident the new chair's experience will help strengthen competitiveness and achieve these goals.
