Cegedim Relationship Management’s Senior Vice President of OneKey and Marketing Named on PharmaVOICE 100 List of Most Inspiring People

Cegedim Relationship Management congratulates Dave Escalante, Senior Vice President of OneKey® and Marketing, for being listed on the acclaimed PharmaVOICE 100, a list of 100 leaders in the Life Sciences industry who exemplify outstanding leadership, truly innovative practices and demonstrated philanthropy. Cegedim Relationship Management is the Life Sciences industry’s leading global provider of Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Regulatory Compliance, Data and Marketing solutions.

For the ninth consecutive year, PharmaVOICE asked its readership to nominate highly influential leaders who have positively impacted the Life Sciences landscape. The selection of the 100 honorees was based on comprehensive essays - submitted by peers and colleagues - outlining the pivotal role that these leaders play at their companies and in the industry at large. The list and a deeper dive into all of the honorees can be found in PharmaVOICE’s July/August issue.

"As an instrumental executive, highly creative marketer, and dedicated team leader, Dave Escalante is an ideal example of a PharmaVOICE 100 honoree,” said Taren Grom, Editor-in-Chief and Co-Founder, PharmaVOICE. "Dave’s colleagues’ highlight his generosity, eye for next generation innovation - especially in social media - as well as truly meaningful, collaborative leadership.”

With nearly 20 years in the industry, Escalante has established his reputation as a passionate leader by delivering sales, marketing, and compliance solutions to Healthcare and Life Sciences companies. Having taken over Cegedim’s US marketing efforts in late 2012, Escalante has greatly advanced the company’s brand and image. Additionally, as CEO of SK&A Information Services, he was instrumental in leading that organization’s outstanding growth and subsequent acquisition by Cegedim. As a champion for social media, one of his most notable achievements at Cegedim has been the development of a social media product – OneKey Digital – which accurately identifies physicians and their social activity and persona.

But most importantly, Escalante is a committed philanthropist. He and his wife have dedicated themselves to helping Orange County, CA families in need. They have fostered three children; and created Heartworks OC, a nonprofit organization that provides resources to persons affected by difficult life circumstances.

"When your peers and colleagues recognize your work, I believe that it’s confirmation you’re walking the right path,” said Dave Escalante. "I believe that if you lead from within, and help others along the way, it promotes an environment for innovation. It’s an honor to focus my efforts with Cegedim and my team as we create new solutions that generate new value for the Healthcare and Life Sciences industries.”
