I started in the clinical research industry in 1989 working as a coordinator at the VA Hospital in Madison, WI. From there I moved to the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics working as a research coordinator on NIH funded asthma research studies. I saw an opportunity to provide centralized business development services for clinical research sites and was off and running having established one of the industry’s first Trial Management Organizations (TMO) in 1996. I continue to work that business model today and enjoy the reputation of being a trusted, connected, leader.
