Provider of enterprise content management (ECM) for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries reports that Neil Rotherham has joined the company as executive chairman
Rotherham will work with the Good Products team at the UK headquarters in Nottingham, sharing his industry knowledge and business experience in order to direct company growth.
In 1993 Rotherham co-founded ClinPhone, recognising the opportunity to improve the clinical trials process through the implementation of telephone and web-based solutions.
He led the business from conception to a 500-person company with offices in Europe and the USA, only stepping down from the ClinPhone board in 2006 after introducing a management team to take the company public.
He has since been involved in a variety of small enterprises as owner, manager and in a non-executive capacity.
"Pharmaceutical organisations are constantly looking for new methods of streamlining information, but increasingly strict regulations mean that smaller companies can find compliance confusing," said Neil Rotherham.
"Good Products is ideally placed not only to provide easy-to-use document management systems, but also to advise companies on optimal and compliant solutions".
With over 20 years experience in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, Rotherham brings to Good Products a wealth of expertise in key markets for the company's suite of products.
He qualified in medicine in 1986 and trained as a hospital physician before moving into the pharmaceutical industry to work on medicine development for Boots Pharmaceuticals, prior to founding ClinPhone.
Keith Williams, founder and CEO of Good Products, comments, "We are delighted with this latest addition to the company.
"Neil's experience in both the life sciences and business sectors is unparalleled, and we look forward to working with Neil to grow Good Products and expand our range of solutions".
Headquartered in Nottingham, UK, Good Products provides companies in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sectors with a secure and centralised repository for electronic source documentation.
Effective document management is becoming increasingly important in the USA following the release of FDA guidelines on the use of the electronic common technical document (eCTD) for regulatory agency submissions.
