AlphaDetail Co-Founder Named President & CEO

In the US, the Board of Directors of pharma market research specialist AlphaDetail has appointed co-founder Rishi Varma as President and CEO.

AlphaDetail's expertise spans a wide array of therapeutic areas and every stage of the product life cycle. The company recently launched AlphaLink, which integrates secondary research with tracking studies; and AlphaMonitor, which offers real-time online access to any of the firm's tracking services.

Varma co-founded the firm almost nine years ago, since when, he has held senior level positions overseeing each major area of the business. In addition, he has worked closely with pharma and biotech clients on designing and implementing marketing research studies.

Prior to AlphaDetail, Varma was a Senior Engagement Manager for strategy and management consulting Strategic Decisions Group, where he helped pharma companies throughout the R&D and marketing value chain, and led the development of the firm's biotech practice.

Carl Spetzler, an AlphaDetail Board member, explained: 'Rishi was the natural choice for President & CEO, given his history with the company and deep understanding of our core business. We are impressed by his emphasis on hiring and developing the highest quality market research professionals, his insight into the forces that will shape our industry in the future and the level of mutual respect he shares with his clients, employees, and partners.'
