Gordon has been closely involved in clinical research in CEE since the late 90’s and has been an integral part of the exponential growth in clinical trials that the region has enjoyed since then. During this period he was most recently at the Russian/Swiss CRO PSI, as Head of Business Development, Europe. Before that he was at Pharm-Olam, as VP of Commercial and Corporate Affairs, and prior to that spent 7 years at Inveresk Research. Based in the UK, Gordon is a 15-year veteran of CRO business development in Central and Eastern Europe.
Alan Wood, PhD, EastHORN’s Executive Chairman, said: “We are very pleased to have been able to attract a person of Iain Gordon’s calibre to lead our Business Development efforts. We have ambitious growth plans within our region and Iain will be a key player in our senior management team.”
Iain Gordon said: “I am delighted to be joining EastHORN at this important stage in the company’s development. Since joining the CRO industry in the 90's I have been continually impressed with the quality and speed of clinical work in CEE. In an industry where timelines are absolutely key, but deadlines are often missed, I have lost count of the times that CEE operations and sites have saved the day. As this region matures it now offers the best of both worlds, combining experience and dynamic enrolment, continually outperforming some of the more exotic and less predictable regions that have started to offer clinical services more recently."
Founded in Prague in 2004 (as Unimed s.r.o), EastHORN is today one of the leading CROs in Central and Eastern Europe. We operate in over 15 countries in the region with an experienced staff comprised almost entirely of physicians and PhDs.
EastHORN’s clients include global pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies with products across a broad range of therapeutic areas.
Our corporate culture values an ethical approach in business. Our biggest asset is our staff and we are focused on attracting and developing the best talent available in CEE through a culture of empowerment and trust.
