A healthy career path
Paola Testori Coggi is DG Sanco to her fingertips. A biologist by training, she worked her way up through the ranks. Before her appointment as director-general in April 2010, she was a deputy director-general at DG Sanco, and prior to that was director for safety of the food chain, where she wrote the agenda-setting white paper on food safety that led to a shake-up of Europe's food safety system, including the creation of the European Food Safety Authority.
Earlier jobs included working in the cabinets of Italian European commissioners Emma Bonino and Filippo Maria Pandolfi. Her rise to the top job makes her one of just six women out of 35 director-generals in the Commission.
