Pelican BioThermal, a provider of temperature-controlled packaging solutions for the life sciences industry, has hired Greg Wheatley as vice president of worldwide product development and engineering.
With 20 years of hands-on business and leadership experience, Wheatley brings with him the acumen to continue the exciting product roadmap that produced Crēdo Cargo, TIC Smart Indicator and Chronos single-use parcel shippers. Moving forward, he will lead the active development of new and enhanced products to be released over the next several years.
Prior to Pelican BioThermal, Wheatley was vice president of engineering and program management with TSI Incorporated, a global company focused on the design and production of precision measurement instruments, and was responsible for leading all product development methods for improved overall performance and output.

Wheatley replaces Kevin Valentine, who helped found Cool Logistics in 2000 and transitioned from his role as managing director to Pelican BioThermal’s vice president of product development and engineering when Pelican Products purchased Cool Logistics in 2014. Valentine will continue to work with Pelican BioThermal, as he joins established regional temperature-controlled packaging distributor, Cool Logistics India, as chief technical officer.
