“Our global ecosystem is becoming increasingly hyper-competitive, with incumbents and an increasing number of new entrants, all seeking financially attractive disease spaces, pathways, and solutions, to meet the unmet clinical and psychosocial needs of patients, caregivers, providers, payers, PBMs, channels, and IDN's. As we have witnessed with recently announced M&L activities and fundamental market shifts, the focus continues to be on cost-effectively merging both ends of the spectrum – clinical/development/science, with key commercial trends/drivers to increasing access and local availability, harnessing cost, improving real-world outcomes".

“Changing market behaviors, such as competitors forging development alliances with prior/current competitors, trial database sharing, expanding regulatory pathways to quicker approval, new go-to-market rules of engagement, are changing the stakes, and the potential rewards. As we continue to focus on a smaller number of TA's of financial attractiveness, yet, denser levels of competitiveness, new entrants, incumbent defenders, all types of companies are challenged to create evergreen plans, increasing the need for innovative decision-enablement processes and reporting systems. We have a higher level of responsibility, to being more vested in our client’s business, earning trusted advisor status, not just being a vendor, and/or reporting information, but delivering a fully prioritized view of the threats and opportunities, allowing clients to prioritize investments in initiatives that enhance business success".

“I am excited to be joining the MedSphere team and to be collaborating with Hooman again. We collaborated on a number of successes at G.D. Searle. MedSphere has a distinguished heritage with our existing global client roster, a highly dedicated, experienced, and talented team, all having focused their careers in the HCLS space. In our quickly transforming ecosystem, I believe a singular HCLS focus, subject/industry historianship, and an innovative, integrated suite of products, programs, and services, provides a multidimensional advantage to our clients and prospects. I believe, that we have a solid foundation, from which to deepen our relationships, enhance client experience, while listening to/for our clients, increasing our suite of offerings to meet their needs in the broadening HCLS ecosystem.” Carl offered.
