CG Life, a leading agency specializing in therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics, and research tools and services sectors, has appointed Jon Sawyer as its Chief Operating Officer (COO). Sawyer brings over two decades of industry experience to his new role, where he will oversee operations and drive partnerships with established and emerging organizations.
Prior to joining CG Life, Sawyer served as the President and COO of closerlook inc., a digital marketing agency catering to the pharmaceutical commercialization sector. Following closerlook’s acquisition by Fishawack Health (now Avalere Health), Sawyer assumed the role of COO for Fishawack’s US Commercial division. His extensive background in digital marketing and pharmaceutical services positions him well to lead CG Life’s operations as the agency continues to expand its client base and service offerings.
CG Life CEO David Ormesher, who previously worked alongside Sawyer at closerlook, expressed confidence in Sawyer’s leadership abilities and emphasized his pragmatic approach to driving growth. Ormesher highlighted Sawyer’s authentic leadership style as a valuable asset to CG Life’s team as they navigate the agency’s strategic direction.
Sawyer’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for CG Life, following the recent acquisition of digital agency Toolhouse aimed at enhancing the agency’s digital capabilities. The acquisition doubled CG Life’s headcount and bolstered its leadership team with executives from Toolhouse.
In addition to expanding its capabilities, CG Life unveiled a rebranding effort earlier this year, underscoring its commitment to research and development in the health sector. With Sawyer at the helm as COO, CG Life is poised to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the life sciences and biopharma industries.
In a statement, Ormesher expressed optimism about CG Life’s future under Sawyer’s leadership, highlighting the agency’s dedication to shaping and sharing impactful stories in the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
Sawyer expressed enthusiasm for his new role, emphasizing CG Life’s role in shaping the future of science and medicine. He looks forward to leading the agency’s talented team as they continue to drive innovation and amplify groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs.
As CG Life positions itself for continued growth and success, Sawyer’s appointment as COO signals a strategic move aimed at propelling the agency to new heights in the dynamic healthcare communications industry.
