Bradley T. Sheares, the U.S. marketing chief of Merck & Co. Inc., has been replaced in a shake-up of the drugmaker's marketing division, the company said yesterday.
Sheares, based in Upper Gwynedd, Montgomery County, was succeeded by Adam Schechter, current general manager of Merck's joint venture with Schering-Plough Corp., said spokesman Raymond Kerins.
The shuffle at Merck U.S. Human Health came two months after chief executive Richard Clark installed a new global marketing chief, Peter Loescher, as part of a restructuring prompted largely by the Vioxx recall and litigation.
