Clinical research and data solutions leader aids growth with new hire
Durham, NC - September 13 2010 - Cmed Group which combines clinical research services with a leading-edge clinical data capture and management system, has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of Mac McElroy as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of its US organization, Cmed Inc.
McElroy formerly served as Executive Director of Strategic Development, Americas for Chiltern International for over two years. Prior to this he was Vice President, Corporate Development for six years and was a member of the Executive Management team of CTMS, Inc. McElroy holds BA and Master’s degrees. In his early career McElroy grew his management experience by successfully opening and establishing new long term care facilities.

His appointment strengthens Cmed’s management team as the group accelerates the global expansion of its flagship IT product Timaeus, a next-generation clinical data capture and management solution which is already delivering critical benefits in a number of major international clinical trials.
Cmed Global Chief Executive David Connelly said: “We are delighted to welcome Mac McElroy to the Cmed team. Mac brings a breadth of experience, knowledge and skills which will be very valuable not only to Cmed in the US, but the company as a whole. He has a great track record of developing strong relationships with clients and partners, and driving quality and growth.”
