CROS NT Appoints Business Development Manager To Further Expansion In Germany

After opening an office in Augsburg in 2010, CROS NT is now investing in the future of the German market.

This month, CROS NT has appointed Eva Hurst as Business Development Manager with a focus on furthering the expansion of its Augsburg office which opened in 2010.

Eva joins CROS NT from a Spanish full-service CRO, where she was involved in international business development and project management for the past three years. She was responsible for establishing a network of regional service providers. Having hands-on experience as a Project Manager and knowing the full project life cycle will allow her to work in a consultative manner with customers. Eva is a native of Switzerland and a mother tongue German speaker with fluency in English, Spanish, Catalan and French.

CROS NT is experiencing steady growth as more and more Sponsors of clinical trials decide to place their data with CROS NT so that all study data for a single product can be handled in a consistent traceable manner by one provider (services include data management, statistics, pharmacovigilance and medical writing).

Eva will join CROS NT at the Outsourcing in Clinical Trials Europe event in Zurich, Switzerland on 8-9 May where CROS NT will be an exhibitor.

In terms of products and services, CROS NT is introducting ArithmosCentrum, a comprehensive business management tool which manages the information flow between sales, project management, resource management and finance, to the German-speaking market.

"We are excited to have Eva join our Business Development team. Her international experience and skill set in the clinical trial environment make her the ideal candidate to grow our business in German-speaking regions. This is an important goal for CROS NT," says CEO Paolo Morelli.

CROS NT has a legal entity in Germany, CROS DE GmbH, which is headed by Vice President, Frank Freischlager.
