– USA, GA – Florence Healthcare, the industry leader in remote connectivity in clinical research, today announced the appointment of Life sciences technology veteran Tarek Sherif to its board of directors.
“Our goal is to advance cures by helping more trial site research teams than any other company,” said CEO, Ryan Jones. “In the first chapter of our story, we made clinical trial sites more efficient, and today 10,000 of them across 44 countries use Florence. We now have a unique opportunity in our next chapter to connect that site community to the full clinical development lifecycle. With Sherif, we’ve added the world’s foremost expert on serving research at scale to meet this challenge.”
