Introducing Gary White as Director of Operations

Commenting on his appointment, White said:

“To be joining Scottish Brain Sciences at such a pivotal moment is hugely exciting. The opportunity to work alongside Professor Ritchie and his exceptional team, contributing to the continued success, growth and expansion of SBS’s critical work in Alzheimer’s research, is deeply meaningful to me — both professionally and personally. Like many, my family has been affected by this disease, and I’m inspired and energised to play a small part in the clinical and scientific advances being made.

“After many years supporting the Scottish life sciences sector and helping position ‘Brand Scotland’ on the global stage, the opportunity to contribute to the growth of a home-grown organisation that truly reflects the innovation and talent of this sector is a powerful motivator.

“As we continue to grow, our unique proposition will deliver real value for our partners, our people and, most importantly, our research participants.”

Professor Craig Ritchie, founder of Scottish Brain Sciences, said:

“Gary comes to SBS with an unparalleled depth of experience in life sciences, gained through his work at IQVIA and through his leadership across the Scottish life sciences sector.

“Our friendship dates back several years, and he has watched the SBS journey unfold from start-up to scale-up. With his passion and experience, he will help us grow the organisation both nationally and internationally. It is an important validation of what we have built over the last four years that someone of Gary’s stature has agreed to join us on our journey.”
