ISI Promotes Adam Sherlock to Managing Director, Europe
- Sherlock brings 20 years of International Pharmaceutical experience to position
- Succeeds Retiring Managing Director Gilbert Kampfner
ESCHBORN, Germany & Whippany, NJ (August 20, 2008) – Image Solutions Inc. (ISI), a leading provider of software and services for the life sciences industry, today named Adam Sherlock to the position of Managing Director, Europe, effective immediately. Sherlock replaces Gilbert Kampfner, who is retiring after almost nine years with the company.
"It is a bittersweet day for the ISI family," said Jinsoo Kim, founder and chief executive officer of ISI. "Gil Kampfner's leadership will be missed, but our ability to replace him with an industry veteran like Adam Sherlock is a testament to our team building and succession planning."
Sherlock, who joined ISI as Director of Business Development last year, has spent 20 years in the IT industry, specifically life sciences companies. As chief operating officer of IQ Consultancy, a provider of change management services to the pharmaceutical industry, Sherlock's extensive business management experience was instrumental in securing the company's successful acquisition by a major Swedish IT consultancy firm. Prior to IQ Consultancy, Sherlock was founder and managing director of the Synapse Partnership, a company specializing in regulatory software for the life sciences market. Sherlock also served as director of business development at major medical communications agency Gardiner-Caldwell Communications, which grew revenue 400 percent over his five-year tenure.
Kampfner retires after 35 years in the drug development industry. His career has spanned the entire history of modern clinical trials and data management, and has included building a European business for ISI with clients such as pharmaceutical industry giants AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Sanofi Aventis.
Under Sherlock's leadership, ISI will continue to aggressively grow its regulatory consulting practice, outsourcing services, and European market share of its flagship submission products eCTDXPress and ISIPublisher. Earlier this year, ISI announced that it integrated its product suite to provide European companies with the flexibility to submit to regulatory agencies in any format - paper, electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) or non-eCTD electronic submissions.
