Welcome New Executive Commitee Member

EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, COMMERCIAL/NORTH AMERICA, mdgroup As Executive Vice President (Americas) at mdgroup, I have over 10 years of experience within the clinical trial industry, from planning educational events for health care professionals to supporting sponsors and CROs with solutions for decentralizing their clinical trials and expanding access to diverse communities. My interest is in delivering digital health solutions and retention programs that tackle the growing burden of patient dropouts in clinical trials, ensuring our clients get their product to market in time and within budget, all while putting the patient first.
