TGaS Advisors Named to Inc. 5000; Among Top Health Companies, Top 50 in Philadelphia Metro Area
East Norriton, Penn., Aug. 31, 2011 — TGaS® Advisors, a leading benchmarking and advisory services firm for the pharmaceutical industry, has been recognized for the fourth year in a row as one of America’s fastest growing companies in the United States by Inc. Magazine in its 2011 rankings.
TGaS Advisors ranks #1443 in the Inc 5000 and is listed as one of the Top Health Companies. It also ranks in the Top 50 in the Philadelphia Metro Area. Earlier this year the firm was named one of the leading entrepreneurial businesses in the Philadelphia region by Philadelphia SmartCEO magazine, receiving its prestigious Future 50 award. TGaS Advisors is now a division of KnowledgePoint360.
In the face of downward economic trends, TGaS Advisors revenue nearly tripled over the three years from 2007-2010. According to Stephen E. Gerard, TGaS Advisors Founder and President, “Pharmaceutical companies see efficiency and profitability as key drivers in this challenging environment. Commercial Operations executives increasingly understand that TGaS Advisors can help them become valued business partners in this effort.” Gerard cited findings from the recent White Paper he co-authored with TGaS Advisors Vice President and Management Advisor Anna McClafferty, “The New Commercial Model: Reality or Rhetoric?”
TGaS Advisors recently launched several new Commercial Operations benchmark options in Managed Markets and in Marketing Operations, including Medical/Regulatory/Legal Review and Speaker Management, currently two “hot-button” issues for pharmaceutical companies. In addition, five senior executives joined the firm in 2011, including new leadership for Training & Development, the firm’s fastest growing solution.
A key aspect of the firm’s success is its “Trusted Advisor” approach. Most TGaS Advisors associates are 20-year industry veterans, coming to the firm from such companies as Wyeth (Pfizer), GlaxoSmithKline, Bristol-Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca, Roche Pharmaceuticals, King Pharmaceuticals, Abbott Laboratories, Yamanouchi (Astellas), Thomson Reuters, IMS Health and SimStar (Rosetta Interactive).
