Aperio Clinical Outcomes, a clinical research organization (CRO), has hired Heather Andrews as director of Business Development to help drive growth in the medical device space.
Heather Andrews has more than 19 years of experience in the cardiovascular device field. A former medical device representative, sales manager and director of Business Development, Andrews brings with her a wealth of knowledge in clinical device trials. She maintains a large network of relationships in the medical device industry and cardiovascular space, enabling engagement of well-respected key opinion leaders and industry experts. Her strong partnerships with her clients has enabled Andrews to establish an unparalleled track record of repeat and referral business.
“We are thrilled that Heather joined our team to help lead the growth of our medical device division,” said CEO and Founder Faye Woolf. “The device industry is growing exponentially, and a large percentage of these companies are small and need help navigating the pathways from development through commercialization. Heather’s extensive network coupled with her ability to establish solid partnerships will enable Aperio to expand our medical device client base and bring more life-improving, lifesaving medical devices to market for patients.”
According to Andrews, “Losing my father to coronary stent thrombosis has been a passionate driver for me to bring innovative solutions to the cardiovascular medical device community. I am honored to join forces with an organization like Aperio, where the average industry tenure of the colleagues on my team is over 15 years. I regularly encounter countless medical device companies who need the operational expertise, as well as the agility, transparency and responsiveness of a partner like Aperio. Together, we can help address the needs of medical device companies, which will enable providers to offer more lifesaving solutions.”
The hiring of Andrews follows the appointment last fall of Cari Kniola as director of Corporate Strategy. Kniola is leading Aperio’s strategy for the company's existing and continued growth.
Kniola has more than 20 years of clinical research experience in the medical device and pharma industries, ranging from a clinical research associate through project management of global studies at both sponsor companies and CROs.
