Meet the Team

Nick Merryfield

CEO & Head of Business Consulting

After sales and leadership roles at SmithKline Beecham and Boehringer-Ingelheim, Nick started his career in consulting by founding Infonetica Ltd. and Pharmaceutical Field Ltd.

Respectively, each organization helped the UK pharmaceutical industry improve clinical research activity and manage the evolving payer landscape of the late 1990s. After the sale of the businesses, Nick formed and led NHiS Ltd. During this time, he was responsible for spearheading ground-breaking work on using Hospital Episode Statistics to understand the relationship between drug intervention and outcomes.

Following the acquisition of NHiS in 2013, Nick helped found Verpora Ltd, a global specialist consultancy in the field of innovative value strategies. Joined by leading pharmacists and data scientists, the organization now focuses on inspiring patient access to life-enhancing technologies across the globe.

Nick is a chemist by training, and former Board Director of the British Healthcare Business Intelligence Association (BHBIA).
