Wishing Mr. Ryan Quigley greater responsibilities and exciting challenges in this impressive new chapter!
Inizio, a leading global commercialization partner to health and life sciences companies, has announced the appointment of Ryan Quigley as Chief Executive Officer, effective 9 September 2025. Quigley succeeds Paul Taaffe, who will continue to support the transition until the end of the year.
Quigley has served as Inizio’s Chief Operating Officer since 2021, driving the company’s commercial strategy, innovation agenda, and investment roadmap. He has played a key role in developing Inizio into a leading partner for more than 700 large pharma and biotech clients worldwide. With $1.6 billion in revenue and over 10,500 employees across five business units—Medical, Advisory, Evoke, Engage, and Biotech—Inizio supports clients throughout every stage of clinical development and commercialization, enhancing patient access, outcomes, and experiences.
Prior to joining Inizio, Quigley spent 25 years in senior leadership roles at major healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, including Abbott and AbbVie, where he led the launch of several blockbuster brands across global markets.
Quigley said, “This is an exciting time to lead Inizio as we continue to grow and help biopharma clients with integrated solutions to bring highly complex new drugs to market. At Inizio, it’s the combination of our people and our expertise that makes the difference: we connect talent from across the organization to create innovative solutions that make a meaningful difference for our clients and patients. Together, we will continue to unlock new opportunities, reimagine how healthcare engages with patients, professionals, and society, and build on the momentum we have achieved over the last few years.”
Liam FitzGerald, Chairman of the Board, commented, “Ryan Quigley has an exceptional track record as a leader who combines strategic vision with deep operational expertise. He embodies the values of Inizio and has the energy, ambition, and client focus to lead the business into its next chapter of growth and success.”
FitzGerald also expressed gratitude to outgoing CEO Paul Taaffe, stating, “I would like to thank Paul personally and on behalf of the Board of Directors for his contribution to the successful development of Inizio. He oversaw the creation of the company and built a market leader well positioned for sustained growth. Paul will remain closely involved with Inizio as a board member going forward.”
