Greenfield-based Elanco Animal Health Inc. (NYSE: ELAN) has named Marcela Kirberger general counsel and corporate secretary, succeeding Michael-Bryant Hicks. Hicks announced his resignation in February and took an executive position at Indianapolis-based Apria Inc.

Elanco says Kirberger joins the company with more than 20 years of corporate legal experience.

Most recently, Kirberger was general counsel and corporate secretary at the North American headquarters of Roche Diagnostics in Indianapolis.

“Marcela is a clear fit for Elanco, with the right mix of executive leadership experiences at U.S. and German-based companies,” said Jeff Simmons, president and chief executive officer of Elanco. “Her wide-ranging expertise in regulated, pharma, and over-the-counter in the human health sector complements our experienced animal health executive team, continuing to strengthen the management of key functional areas, such as legal.”

Kirberger has served for nearly two years on the board of directors for BioCrossroads.
