CONSHOHOCKEN, PA - August 17, 2016 - -Instem, a leading provider of IT solutions to the global early development healthcare market, announced today that Jerry Hacker has joined its leadership team as Senior Vice President, Global Sales.

Hacker has held a number of roles within health & life sciences where he has successfully built and led both high performing software and consulting services sales teams and partner programs. His body of work includes significant accomplishments in revenue growth, sales productivity and operations.

“Jerry’s strong leadership skills centered on principles of attitude, work ethic and a commitment toward continuous improvement will be vital during this time of transformational growth,” comments Phil Reason, CEO at Instem. “Demand for Instem solutions has never been stronger, and Jerry’s experience in developing and implementing formal, consultative sales processes coupled with his strong drive for results will have an immediate positive impact for us and our clients.”
