Organizations or individuals desiring change is often the reason for retirements, but the timing is often crucial and so it proved for two major institutions in the UK.
The last month of summer saw several hires, including a lead for Worldwide Clinical Trials’ Japan operations, CEO appointments at CordenPharma and LabConnect, and Altasciences’ new CSO, who joins the company from Syneos.
CordenPharma has a new CEO, Arbour Group advances plans to expand in RTP, Ashfield brings on a former Iqvia VP, and Recursion adds to its c-suite after raising $121m this month.
Newly-minted Signant Health named a new CTO, Parexel bolstered its Japan presence, and BioAgilytix’s CEO was appointed to the board of FSD Pharma – a company developing products based on cannabinoids – among other people on the move in June.
This month’s roundup includes the first CFO for CytoReason, a new CEO at Certara and Factory-CRO, as well as an expanded leadership team at BioDuro, among other people on the move in May.
Synteract adds to its therapeutic centers of development, Sterling Pharma continues growth in the US, and WCG’s site division sees the addition of several executives, among other people on the move this month.
The industry in March saw new c-suite appointments at CRF Bracket, PCI Pharma Services, George Clinical, and Paragon Bioservices – as well as moves to boost medical device and DMPK services at Premier Research and Sygnature Discovery, respectively.
Parexel boosts its oncology team, Premier Research has a new COO joining from PPD, and SGS names a new biologics manager, among other new hires in February.
A number of companies spent the early part of the year creating and then filling new positions, which has seen another big pharma company follow the trend of appointing a chief digital officer.
People on the move in January include new CEOs at Lonza, Taconic, MaSTherCell, Pii, and Wasdell, among several other c-suite shakeups and new hires as the industry kicks off the New Year.
