OTC and prescription health products sold across 90+ countries via pharmacies and retailers
Karo Healthcare operates a multi-category OTC and prescription business spanning intimate health, dermatology, digestive health, and pain/cold remedies—distributed across 90+ countries with direct sales teams in 10+ European markets. The tech stack reveals a traditional pharma-plus-retail hybrid: SAP and IFS for ERP/supply chain, Veeva for regulatory and quality (RIM), Shopify for direct-to-consumer, and BI tools (Power BI, Databricks, OneStream) for financial visibility. Hiring is marketing-heavy (14 roles) relative to engineering (3), with projects focused on ERP/CRM upgrades, GMP compliance, and omnichannel go-to-market—a pattern typical of a legacy pharma operator modernizing operations and expanding sales channels.
