SSI Strategy Announces Acquisition of Long-Term Partner Fiore Healthcare Advisors

Transaction facilitates the Expansion of Company’s Clinical and Drug Safety Offerings

The partnership will secure a team of Pharmacovigilance and Clinical Research experts to support clients, expanding the company’s functional breadth.

SSI Strategy, LLC (“SSI” or the “Company”), a leading Life Sciences consultancy, announced today that they have acquired Fiore Healthcare Advisors, LLC (FHA), a leading Pharmacovigilance consultancy and long-time SSI collaborative partner. This news comes on the heels of SSI’s December 2020 growth investment from Amulet Capital Partners, LP (“Amulet”), a middle-market private equity firm focused exclusively on the Healthcare sector.

Doug Locke, CEO of SSI Strategy stated, “We are thrilled to officially welcome FHA to the SSI family. Our partnership over the years has helped us support our clients as they deliver novel therapies while remaining committed to patient safety. The FHA team will continue to contribute to and share in the Company’s long-term strategic vision.”

Avi Uttamchandani, Principal at Amulet stated, “The acquisition of FHA aligns with SSI Strategy’s growth goals and aim to expand strategic services to support Medical, Clinical and Drug Safety functions at the C-level of Life Sciences companies. We are thrilled to see the continued growth of SSI through sustained partnerships with their clients and now the addition of FHA.”

The acquisition of long-time partner FHA will expand SSI’s already strong Clinical Research and Drug Safety offerings by onboarding a team of experienced Safety Physicians and Clinical Research experts to support across the development continuum, from trial design/strategy to Medical and Safety monitoring, signal detection and management, case processing and inspection readiness. FHA’s team of medical experts will be well supported by SSI’s current medical team and business consulting staff.

FHA’s Founder Dr. Gregory Fiore stated, “We look forward to joining forces with SSI and the positive impact it will deliver for both our people and our clients. SSI and FHA share a passion for helping companies perform clinical research, drug safety and other critical drug development activities to the absolute highest standards.” FHA also brings a strong skillset in Pharmacovigilance Consulting, Clinical Research, Clinical and PV Compliance, and Data Quality.

Adam Schwartz, President of SSI Strategy said, “SSI incorporates a blended team of MDs, former Chief Medical Officers and business consultants to deliver a model we believe brings the most value to our clients. We are enthusiastic about incorporating more Safety expertise into our portfolio rounding out our offerings in Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance.”
