Beth Snelson

Project and Client Manager

As Project and Client Manager for SVMPharma, since August 2020, my focus is on the day-to-day management of projects and their deliverables both internally and for external clients.

I have a passion for clinical research and have worked in the field since 2014, managing clinical trials, at site and later CRO level. My experience includes commercial, non-commercial, CTIMP and observational, RWE studies from study set up, through data collection to close out. I pride myself in building close working relationships and I am a self-confessed planner who appreciates the importance of project plans designed to drive efficiencies. This allows us to deliver meaningful results, on time and achieve the best outcomes to make a difference for our clients.

With SVMPharma, home of DISTILL EDC system, I now utilise my experience and knowledge of clinical research to support development, and ensure smooth and timely delivery of our unique electronic data capture solutions to our clients for their trials.

Sachin Adiseshadrirao

Operations Manager

In my role as operations manager, I lead the business analysis, testing, scrum-master, and technical writing teams behind the development of DISTILL.

I am passionate about software products that improve the lives of patients. There are two key ingredients to this: empathy for the real problems faced by healthcare professionals, sponsors, and patients, and a motivated team eager to bring the product’s vision to life.

In my role at SVMPharma, I have the privilege of leading both of these aspects in the development of DISTILL.

Worked with several sponsors and associations to setup clinical trial systems such as EDCs and eTMF systems.
Evaluated leading EDC systems in the market for the purpose of procurement to drive early and late phase studies.
Diverse experience in business analysis, IT product and project management.

Jean-Pascal Rugiero

Vice President

In my role as Vice President I oversee all our sales activities for the DISTILL EDC platform as well as lead our marketing efforts.

I am French, based out of our Dubai office. I share my time between attending conferences all over the world, Dubai, France and Belgium. In my career I have worked in a number of roles, all adding up to my knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry. I am a chiropractor by training and an IT developer by choice. In my early years I was involved in bank and insurance software development, quickly switching to EDC and eClinical platforms development. I took on roles such as project manager, helpdesk manager, pre-sales technician and finally sales, marketing and BD. I am the perfect link between our Teams of developers and our customers.

I have been working for several CROs for the past 16 years. My in-depth knowledge of the eClinical sphere and my extensive network of pharma executives are a real asset in my role at SVMPharma. DISTILL is the most exciting role I have ever been offered. Join us on this exciting journey!
