Pennside Partners extends a warm welcome to Tom Perkins, who has been hired as a Director based out of our Zurich office. Tom brings 14 years of pharmaceutical consulting experience to Pennside. Tom is joining Pennside after more than a decade with leading market research firm, GfK. He began his pharma career first as an intern at V2 (acquired by GfK) during his studies at St. Joseph’s University (Philadelphia, PA, United States). He then quickly advanced through the organization to become a Division Manager of GfK’s Swiss arm based in Basel, Switzerland where he was the key account manager for one of GfK’s top clients.
Tom brings vast expertise in respiratory conditions (COPD, PAH, Cystic Fibrosis) and previous experience in oncology and hematology. In his last 3 years with GfK, Tom was running launch tracking for a major respiratory player. Previously, he was the project leader for the largest primary market research program ever conducted in Type 2 Diabetes where over 6,000 physicians and 10,000 patients from 26 countries gave insights on physician communication and marketing. Publications regarding this Diabetes project are forthcoming in 2017.
“We are excited to have Tom join our team. He will be an integral part of our plans to expand our European presence while continuing to provide excellent service to our existing client base. Our recent staff additions as well as the opening of our Manchester, UK area office in May of 2016 demonstrate our commitment to delivering the highest quality business development support, strategy, and competitive intelligence services to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries on a global scale,” said Tom Penrice, VP and Co-Founder of Pennside Partners.
