Healthcare and life sciences consultancy firm Vintura has appointed health-economics professor Lieven Annemans as an associate partner after previously working with him in health-economic areas.
His new role will see him advise international life sciences organisations with market access challenges.
Bas Amesz, partner at Vintura, said: “Lieven adds valuable knowledge and international experience in the areas of health-economics and value-based healthcare.
“Furthermore, Lieven is also a valuable addition to our team, he is an inspiring ‘thought leader’ with a no-nonsense work ethic and a pleasure to work with.”
The professor teaches in the faculty of medicine and health sciences at Ghent University based in Belgium and he is also president of the Flemish Healthcare council.
“By joining forces with Lieven we will increase our ability to create meaningful impact in healthcare by advising and supporting healthcare organisations, industry and government.
“This way we will jointly contribute to the realisation of universal and equitable access of patients to new therapies.”
