Elsevier has announced that Thomas Zajac has been appointed as the new president of its Elsevier/MEDai clinical analytics business unit.

Mr Zajac joins the company with more than 25 years of experience in the healthcare sector, having spent extended spells with medical industry businesses such as CareScience and Transition Systems.

Most recently, he was the managing director of Zajac and Associates, providing product and strategy services to private equity, vendor and provider customers in the healthcare sector.
