Lothar Kappich, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Sartorius, praised Grosse as a leader: "With his openness, perseverance, and results orientation, he fits excellently into the Sartorius culture." Grosse also showed ambition: "The company has a powerful mission, and I am excited to be able to contribute to the further development of the biopharmaceutical industry in the future.
