McCann Health appoints Daniel Carucci as global medical director

McCann Health has appointed Daniel Carucci to the newly-created position of global medical director.

He will be based in New York and New Jersey and will work across McCann Health’s global network to boost the agency’s scientific credentials, bringing a wealth of experience.

John Cahill, McCann Health’s global CEO, said: “We’re very excited that Dan, a multi-disciplined MD and renowned medical communications expert, is joining the McCann Health team.

“His in-depth understanding of the scientific method and practical rationale will enable McCann Health to more effectively close the critical evidence-to-practice gap and give greater purpose to science across a broader array of stakeholders that are important to the success of a healthcare brand.”

Dr Carucci has over 25 years of experience in large-scale innovation programs, vaccine development, organisational leadership, and global public health, during which time he served as VP for global health at the United Nations Foundation.

Over the last seven years he has worked with McCann as a consultant, during which time he was a co-creator of the agency’s highly praised Immunity Charm public health campaigns.
