(Author portrait)
Born in 1928 in Leipzig, Konrad M. Weis studied chemistry in Bonn and then worked for the Bayer Company for 35 years, from 1956 to 1991. He began his career first as a researcher in the Central Research Laboratory under the distinguished Otto Bayer, and then became a managerial assistant to the future chairman Herbert Grünewald before he came to the United States for the company in 1971. Under Weis' leadership, the company's American firms finally merged into the newly founded Management Holding »Bayer USA« in the 1980s.
