“BioTeam is growing, and I presented Ari to the Board as the best choice for CEO because of his combination of scientific research, technology expertise, and business background,” said Stan Gloss, BioTeam founding partner. “He’s a trained scientist that understands the needs of science and how it intersects with technology.”
Mr. Gloss, who founded BioTeam 17 years ago, will assume the new role of Chief Marketing Officer. His responsibilities will be the branding and marketing of BioTeam as well as working on a smooth transition with Dr. Berman.
Since joining BioTeam, Dr. Berman has worked to increase the company’s impact on science by taking on larger problems and guiding its consulting team towards more collaborative approaches in their service delivery.
