New York, NY, February 22, 2022 – NMS Capital (“NMS”), announced today a new executive partnership with Daniel Duffy to pursue platform investments in the outsourced pharmaceutical services industry, including clinical research, patient support services, specialty pharmacy and distribution. Initially, Mr. Duffy will join the Board of Directors of Flourish Research, which is a leading, multi-therapeutic clinical trial site network, and focus on this investment along with deal origination.

I hope to add immediate value to Flourish Research through my experience in the sector and in post-acquisition integrations. In addition, I look forward to leveraging my background to support NMS in their continued pursuit of new opportunities in pharmaceutical services and distribution.”
