McCann Health has announced the promotion of medical director Dan Carucci to global chief medical officer. 

An expert voice in the scientific and medical community, Dr Carucci will use vast knowledge and experience in innovative medicine, practice and delivery to contribute authoritative science to the agency's clients and businesses.

In this new role, Carucci will work closely with McCann Health clients' medical teams to better understand how to address communications challenges and add value to the rapidly evolving field of medical advances.

He will build upon his substantial efforts with senior medical executives and leaders at the national and supranational level to advance McCann Health's contributions to the global health debate.

Internally, Carucci will expand on his current role providing McCann Health with expert medical advice and guidance to  strengthen the agency's offerings to clients.

Since joining McCann Health in February 2018, the company said Carucci has been a fixture across nearly all aspects of the business, driving scientific and medical excellence through an expanded and invigorated scientific community.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, he produced weekly reports on global data, as well as therapeutic and vaccine developments.

John Cahill, global CEO, McCann Health, said: "It's never been more important for our work to be grounded in science and for clients to trust that they have an agency partner on the team who not only understands their products but also has intimate knowledge of how they are used to benefit the global community."
