With over 15 years of
experience in pharmaceutical marketing and over eight years in
scientific research, Henry is the former EVP Chief Medical Officer of

medical strategy group for the past almost seven years. A seasoned
medical strategist and marketer who has worked across all therapeutic

among some of the most recent - Henry excels in building teams, which
ensure strategic and scientific relevance and help drive change in
beliefs and behavior for brand success. She was a Howard Hughes (News - Alert)
Medical Institute Research Associate at the Center for Advanced
Biotechnology and Medicine. While at Rutgers, she conducted
independent research on p53-mediated apoptosis and the role of Bcl-2

journals. She received her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania's
School of Medicine in Cellular and Molecular Biology for her work in
viral gene expression.
According to Henry, "The key to
being successful in our constantly evolving industry is having
brilliant strategic and creative minds focused on innovation, grounded
in science, and above all dedicated to patients - and that's what
Klick is. The people, the culture, the minds...I was energized from
the moment I met them!"

As a licensed
clinical pharmacist and MBA with over 14 years of experience in
healthcare, Singh has an unparalleled level of medical and marketing
expertise, and an analytical approach with deep strategic thinking.

development and lifecycle management, including launching new products
and new indications for existing products, and repositioning mature
products. Prior to joining Klic, Singh was SVP, Head of Medical at
Havas (H4B Chelsea). She has also worked at Pfizer in Regulatory
Affairs, Sanofi-Aventis in Medical Affairs across the diabetes
portfolio, and Johnson and Johnson Medical Affairs across the oncology
portfolio. Her category experience also includes cardiology,
immunology, respiratory, neurology, and endocrinology. She earned both
her Doctorate in Pharmacy and her MBA at Rutgers.
Singh

families. All this in a unique environment that encourages 'out of the

Effie awards.
"I joined Klick because it is fearlessly
embracing the future of health and communication," said Langerman.
"The prospect of marrying Klick's deep expertise in creative and
exponential technologies with heart-stopping, life-changing ideas and
expanding its presence in New York was too good an opportunity to pass
up."

the past 23 years at agencies, such as Saatchi Wellness, Ogilvy (News - Alert) &

range of therapeutic areas, including neurology, oncology, GI,
respiratory, cardiovascular, and infectious disease. Her experience
also spans technology, CPG, retail, and B2B, but her true calling has
always been health, and her passion is creating real value for
consumers while building her clients' brands and businesses.
"There
aren't many agencies who truly 'walk the walk' in applying technology
to improve people's lives," Jacobs said. "Klick is clearly on the
forefront of this new frontier in health and I couldn't be more proud
to be part of the team."
