MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Medisca, a global company specializing in personalized pharmaceutical solutions, is pleased to announce the appointment of Sanjay D. Goorachurn as the company’s new CEO, as founders, Tony Dos Santos and Maria Zaccardo, transition into strategic advisory roles as Chair and Vice Chair, respectively. Coinciding with the company’s 35^th anniversary, this decision marks a significant milestone in Medisca’s history.

As a seasoned intellectual property lawyer with over 30 years of experience, Goorachurn is regarded as one of the world’s leading IP strategists working closely with senior executives of private and public companies on maximizing the commercial value of a company’s innovation and IP assets. It is Goorachurn’s distinct expertise and first-hand experience in implementing transformative growth for complex and global companies that drew Dos Santos and Zaccardo to him back in 2016, when he joined the Medisca team as a strategic advisor.

“Sanjay’s history with Medisca was an essential element that led to our decision to bring him on as our new CEO,” said Dos Santos. “Over the last 8 years, Sanjay has built authentic relationships with many Medisca people and coached us through some very successful wins, including the advancement and protection of our key innovations. It was critical to us that the company’s next CEO be someone who not only has the capability to take us forward, but also shares the same fundamental values that define who we are.”

“My goal is to preserve the entrepreneurial legacy of Tony and Maria and carry forward the company’s vision to empower personalized wellness for all,” said Goorachurn. “My focus will be centered around empowering Medisca’s people, creating a more structured infrastructure for strategic growth, building key partnerships, and continuing to leverage innovative excellence that sets Medisca apart, while expanding our global presence.”
