Pharm-Olam Appoints Robert Davie as CEO

Pharm-Olam, a global midsized contract research organization (CRO), has named Robert Davie, Ph.D., as its new chief executive officer. Pharm-Olam provides full-service clinical development solutions for oncology-hematology, infectious disease, vaccines, and rare diseases.
 
Davie succeeds David Grange who has served as Pharm-Olam’s chief executive since April 2017. Grange will remain a director and vice chairman of the company’s board and will continue to support the organization and its work in U.S. government-funded research, which is an expanding area of Pharm-Olam’s business.
 
“Rob Davie is a respected leader who has worked within the CRO industry for over 25 years. We look forward to his leadership and knowledge supporting the continued growth of Pharm-Olam,” said Zev Munk, founder and chairman of the board, Pharm-Olam. “We also extend our sincere thanks to David Grange for his leadership over the past two-and-a-half years, having transformed Pharm-Olam’s therapeutic focus while achieving record sales for 2018.”
 
Davie previously held critical roles within Covance, most recently as vice president and general manager of global clinical development.
