Caligor Rx, a global clinical trial procurement company based in New York, US, has appointed Jess McKenna as head of quality assurance and customer relationships and Jacquelyn May as head of clinical trial supplies. The two women join Caligor Rx, as a team, after having spent five years working together for a UK supplier of clinical trial supplies.

McKenna has a first class degree in Health and Social Care from the Open University in the UK. She was most recently responsible for building a quality assurance department at a supplier of comparator drugs.

May is a registered nurse and joins Caligor Rx after five years in comparator procurement for worldwide clinical trials. She was previously a senior manager in the NHS in the UK.
