Healthcare consultancy firm InVentiv Health has created two new positions to lead its growing business opportunities in Europe and Asia.
Dan Feldman (pictured) takes the reins of inVentiv Health Europe as president, while Stephen Walter will join the firm as executive VP for Asia.
Feldman, who established and led inVentiv’s operation in Japan, will oversee the growth of business across all inVentiv Health segments – clinical research, commercialisation and consulting – and will lead development of the firm’s approach to convergent services.
“In only two years, Dan established inVentiv’s outsourced sales force in Japan and grew it to become the second largest such business in the country, before moving on to establish our clinical and consulting services there,” said Paul Meister, chief executive of inVentiv Health.
“Dan will now be able to help our Japanese clients expand in Europe, as well as assist with our growing roster of European clients requiring services that accelerate delivery of therapies to market.”
Walter will join the company as executive VP for Asia and formerly served as managing director for Merck Sharpe & Dhome in Vietnam and Cambodia.
Previously, he worked as general manager and VP of Consulting and Services for IMS Health, based in Singapore. For Bristol-Myers Squibb, he helped launch Entecavir in the Asia-Pacific region and then served as Regional director of Business Development.
We are fortunate to have found someone who combines a broad knowledge of the entire Asian market with a deep understanding of what biopharmaceutical companies need in developing drugs and shepherding them through commercialisation,” Meister said.
