Martin Hendrix

Martin joined NHSc in 2012 with the task of building a healthcare M&A capability for the group. Since then he has kept a relentless passion for growing the company’s portfolio through creative deals, ranging from large M&A transactions to small licensing deals and everything in between.

Martin has a background in pharmaceutical R&D.

Prior to joining Nestlé, he had a 14-year career at Bayer, starting out as a research chemist developing new medicines and later transitioning into M&A and corporate development. Martin likes the unique balance of NHSc’s approach to leverage the power of nutrition in both consumer health as well as medical nutrition and therapeutic products, with consumer deals like the acquisition of Atrium Innovations or the SpoonfulOne brand, and therapeutic deals like the acquisition of Zenpep, or innovation investments for topics such as food allergy, the human microbiome, and metabolic health.
