The two new hires, Steven Herne and Francois Audibert, will lead BioClinica’s eHealth Solutions global commercial endeavors and the company’s global consulting practice specializing in data sciences, safety system and process, respectively.
“Over the past year, BioClinica has significantly broadened our offerings within the eHealth business segment,” BioClinica’s Mukhtar Ahmed, President eHealth Solutions , told Outsourcing-Pharma.com. “We are positioning this division to address industry’s long sought after desire for a flexible, end-to-end platform solution extending across the full R&D process.”
According to the company, BioClinica has grown its eHealth division by building on its eClinical core technology and professional services and through adding adjacent functionality, such as safety and regulatory solutions as well as financial lifecycle solutions.
“At the heart of our eHealth Solutions business is a flexible delivery model, allowing strategic alignment with our customers’ unique business and technology needs, whether they are a sponsor or CRO,” added Ahmed.
Ahmed explained that Herne will play “a key role” in successful execution of this strategic delivery model. He added that Audibert “will be key to ensuring we fulfill our commitment of advancing our customers’ R&D, providing eHealth technology solutions with efficient implementation and fit-to-purpose deployment.”
The company hopes with Audibert leading the new global consulting team, that it will be able to “alleviate the impact of change management” on its customers’ operational teams as they implement new tools, “by providing strong project governance and replicable assets and impactful technology readily embraced within their organizations,” explained Ahmed.
He added: “Through our global strategy we support an industry that is tasked with mobilizing research teams for daily operations that have become increasingly complex, requiring them to be more technology-savvy than ever.”
