BOSTON and DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parexel, a leading global clinical research organization (CRO) focused on development and delivery of innovative new therapies to advance patient health, today announced Executive Vice President and Global Head of Biotech Jim Anthony has been named to the PharmaVOICE 100 list of the most inspiring people in the life sciences industry. Mr. Anthony was recognized for his outstanding leadership, ready-for-anything attitude and relationship-building prowess to grow Parexel’s Biotech business with a Patients-First approach. His leadership has been transformational to the company’s growth while contributing to innovative new therapies, such as Cell and Gene, to assist patients with unmet healthcare needs in areas like oncology and rare disease.

“Emerging biotech companies have very unique and specialized needs,” said Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer Peyton Howell. “Jim’s leadership has been instrumental in building out Parexel’s offering to provide them with innovative solutions incorporating a Patients-First approach. It is this approach along with a visionary and empathetic mindset that has enabled Jim to propel Parexel Biotech to record-setting growth in just three years. Jim is deeply dedicated to his customers, his patients and to developing diverse and inclusive teams empowered to fulfill Parexel’s unwavering commitment to Patients-First. I am tremendously proud of what he has accomplished.”

With 25 years of experience in the life science industry, Mr. Anthony has led Parexel Biotech — an area of strategic importance and growth for the organization — since its founding in January 2019. Under Jim’s leadership, Parexel Biotech’s revenue has more than doubled and new business awards have reached a three-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22 percent. This success is largely based on his ability to forge deep and trusted relationships with Parexel’s biotech customers.
