Ashfield Engage acquires US consulting firm Nuvera LLC
Ashfield Engage has completed the acquisition of Nuvera, a US-based healthcare consulting firm specialising in patient support programmes.
Ashfield Engage and Nuvera will offer integrated specialist support and services including late-phase clinical trial experience, implementation and post-commercialisation satisfaction benchmarking and service optimisation.
Nareda Mills, global president, patient solutions, Ashfield Engage said the combined expertise of the companies created a "wealth of opportunities" for clients and patients.
"By leveraging the strategic and operational insight of both organisations we will be able to bring our program implementation experience to the table earlier and influence the overall strategic direction of patient support, leading to better programs and results.
“Our combined expertise and capabilities will also allow greater visibility across the market landscape to better refine and refresh programs as new market challenges arise. This end-to-end understanding of the treatment experience will advance our patient programs, building best in class services that are meaningful for patients."
Greg Klein, founder and managing partner, Nuvera added: “We are thrilled to become part of Ashfield Engage which will lead to the whole being greater than the sum of our parts. Ashfield’s breadth of engagements combined with Nuvera’s strategic design capabilities will lead to an overall greater impact for our clients and their patients. From complementary cultures to global exposure, we are excited by our new potential.
