People: TraceLink expands management team

Traceability specialist TraceLink has bolstered its executive team with new hires in sales, marketing, compliance and customer services.

The appointments will support the company as it continues to expand its operations beyond the US - where it is busy helping companies prepare for the medicine traceability requirements of the  Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) - into Europe, Brazil, India, China and other countries facing new compliance regulations.

Jean-Marie Aulnette - who has previously held positions at Phase Forward and Oracle - will head up TraceLink's sales operation for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), while Carter Holland, formerly of New Tek, has taken the role of chief marketing officer.

Michael Owings - who has formerly held positions at PHT Corp, Oracle and Phase Forward - has been named vice president of compliance, while Lisa Reinhold joins the company as vice president of global network and customer success, having previously worked for SmartBear Software InnoCentive, and BrainShark.

"Our continued success is the result of ensuring that TraceLink has the right people to lead a global transformation that is the single, most complex undertaking in pharmaceutical industry history," said Shabbir Dahod, president and chief executive of TraceLink.
