Avance Clinical, a global full-service CRO headquartered in Australia dedicated to servicing international biotechs, today announced the appointment of Tim Schuckman as its first Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). Schuckman joined the company on Monday 17 August in a newly created executive role that reflects Avance Clinical’s continued growth, deeper client partnerships, and expanding presence across North America, Asia, and Europe.

His experience developing commercial strategy, strengthening client partnerships and building high-performing teams positions him well to support Avance Clinical’s next phase of growth.
