Fishawack Health Founder's Deep History in Healthcare Communications Blends Nicely with Global Scientific Communications Agency's Upcoming Buy-and-Build Strategy

PRINCETON, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / April 16, 2024 / Cactus Life Sciences, a leading global scientific communications agency that works with blue chip pharma and biotechnology companies, announced today that Oliver Dennis has joined them as Chairman, to work alongside Co-founder, Anurag Goel.

"We're delighted to have someone with Oliver's experience of growing businesses join the team," said Anurag. "Cactus Life Sciences is about to undertake an exciting buy and build strategy. And Oliver is the perfect addition with his deep history in healthcare communications having founded Fishawack Health® (now Avalere^®)."

During Oliver's tenure at Fishawack, he acquired 17 businesses over 13 years including medical communications and branding agencies, as well as strategic healthcare consultancies and market access and HEOR advisory firms.

They've grown consistently and they have the ambition to become the next generation challenger brand to the traditional players in the market," said Oliver. "This is an opportunity to do something with a greater focus on solving client challenges, improving health outcomes, and nurturing our people."

As we work toward transforming Cactus Life Sciences into an agency of the future, we want to ensure that we do so while ensuring that patients and our people are at the core of everything we do," said Elvira D'souza, President of Cactus Life Sciences.
