Nick will lead the development of Envision’s commercial-to-customer strategy while identifying new pathways to progression, with a focus on continuing its revenue growth and expanding its customer reach and solutions. He will help develop, lead, and reinforce Envision’s position as a technology-enabled commercialization, data analytics, and integrated medical capabilities and solutions company. Another key part of his role is to implement a coordinated and integrated sales structure across Envision to reinforce its technology-enabled positioning. 

Before joining Envision, Nick served as Chief Commercial Officer of BioAgilytix, supporting three buyer-side acquisitions and integrations, as well as one sell-side sale of BioAgilytix to new private equity owners. Prior to BioAgilytix, he served as Executive Vice President, Global Business Development, Commercial at Syneos Health, where he led the overall strategic direction of the global business development team for the commercial division, both in the US and internationally.

Nick shares, “It is a distinct pleasure to join both Meg Heim and the entire team at Envision Pharma Group. Envision is a company that is experiencing phenomenal growth and high customer engagement and loyalty across each of the pillars of the organization and has continued to realize the growing demand of customer needs and advisory services. Even better, Envision has excelled at progressive innovation via services and technology to achieve a comprehensive solutions-oriented service platform. I am excited to join this dynamic team.”

Gregory “Greg” Carpenter joins Envision Pharma Group as Chief of Staff, CEO, and member of the Executive Leadership Team and brings with him a wealth of global experience and expertise. 

Greg has held several leadership roles in the pharmaceutical industry and positions spanning sales, marketing, medical, and transformation. His expertise covers areas of communications, strategic planning and implementation, coalition and consensus-building leadership development, omnichannel marketing, and change management.

Before joining Envision, Greg’s most recent role was leading a go-to-market transformation for the Sanofi US General Medicines team that included building an enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) solution, and helping the organization understand and embrace omnichannel marketing. 

Greg says, “I am delighted to join Envision Pharma Group and help carry out our mission of improving lives through a compelling combination of technology and services to enable clients to better serve patients. Through our expertise in scientific and commercialization strategy and solutions, medical affairs, and AI-driven technology solutions, Envision is helping our customers to excel in a rapidly changing healthcare environment.”

Any new drug launch must overcome numerous obstacles in the pursuit of success

In an article published earlier this year, Envision Pharma Group’s Rachel Shemer, along with Two Labs Angus Bromley and Kimberly Cash, discuss the advantages and challenges smaller companies face.
