Malika Haimeur was born in Le Rove, in the Bouches du Rhône region of France.[1] She passed a scientific baccalaureate, then a license and a master 's degree in chemistry. She continued her studies at the Institute of Petrochemistry and Industrial Organic Synthesis, now the École Centrale de Marseille, where she received her engineering degree in 1984.

In 2010, this site produced approximately 750 to 800 tons per year of about 15 active ingredients for medicines. Haimeur was responsible for nearly a thousand people, and managed, among other things, purchasing, shipping and security of the site for the manufacturing the active ingredients for drugs such as Clopidogrel, which is sold as Plavix.[3]

In 2011, she was promoted to vice-president of the research and development sector of the Sanofi group.[3][4] She held that position until 2015.
