People on the Move
Envigo
The nonclinical contract research services and research model provider has named Paul Surdez to the new role of vice president of corporate affairs and investor relations.
Surdez previously led the investor relations programs for Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp) and Covance.
The role was created following Envigo’s merger Avista Healthcare Public Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company.
The companies entered into the definitive merger agreement in August. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018.
On his new role, Surdez said it is “an amazing opportunity to contribute to the company as it embarks on the next stage of its growth strategy and its transition to a publicly-traded company.”
