Nanoform, an innovative nanoparticle medicine enabling company, has appointed Sally Langa as head of U.S. sales. The new role will enable Nanoform to continue its growth with a strengthened presence in the U.S. market.
 
As head of U.S. sales, Ms. Langa will drive business development in this key region. Together with the rest of the commercial team, she will introduce and accelerate growth of Nanoform’s technology platform to major pharma and biotech companies in the U.S. market.
 
Ms. Langa has more than 30 years experience and a successful track record in senior business development positions in the field of formulations, tackling poorly soluble drugs. She has previously worked as vice president, global business development, development and analytical services for Catalent, and has also held other senior roles at Halo Pharmaceutical and Patheon.
 
The appointment comes at a time of growth for Nanoform, which recently filed for GMP status with the Finnish Medicines Agency, FIMEA. This increased manufacturing capability combined with the strengthening of its international commercial organization will enable the company to extend the reach of its award-winning nanonization technology.
