De Carvalho will help shape how AXON will support patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and broader stakeholders navigate the healthcare industry.
“Building on a great foundation, I am excited to continue our growth journey alongside our clients. A first key area of focus for us will be an expansion on our digital engagement services and how we can help clients optimally recruit and engage patients and healthcare professionals within digital and decentralized trials, but also effectively embrace adaptive trial design. The second area of focus will be helping clients to reach diverse patient populations to reflect the communities who may benefit from their medicines," said De Carvalho.
