Klick hires McKinsey partner Brian Fox as president
Klick Group, a Toronto-headquartered health marketing and commercialization agency, has hired Brian Fox as president and leader of its commercial solutions practice. He is based in New York.
Fox spent the last 18 years at McKinsey & Company’s New York and New Jersey offices, where he was a senior partner and served as global leader of the commercial (marketing and sales) and private equity practices within the life sciences sector. He has deep expertise leading consulting engagements in market strategy, product launches, sales force effectiveness, medical affairs, market access, clinical development, and corporate affairs.
Fox is a founding member of Google’s healthcare advisory board and was named one of the 50 most influential people in health by Medical Marketing & Media and PR Week in 2017.
He has an MBA from Northwestern University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Harvard University.
“We are ecstatic to welcome Brian to Klick as we continue to cement our position as the preeminent commercialization partner in life sciences,” said Leerom Segal, co-founder and chairman of Klick. “We have worked with Brian for over a decade and his industry expertise, vision, and grit naturally align with our relentless drive to grow the brands that we work with and help ensure that more patients understand the treatments available to enhance their lives.”
Cox’s hiring arrives after Klick announced a global expansion effort in June 2022. The firm – which previously had locations in Toronto, New York, and Philadelphia – announced that it would open regional hubs in Latin America (Sao Paulo), EMEA (London), and Asia Pacific (Singapore). Klick also announced further locations in Buenos Aires, Basel, Munich, and Tokyo.
The firm in November announced the hiring of Jennifer Lambert as managing director of EMEA, Roberta Raduan as managing director of Latin America, and Michael Becker as chief financial officer.
“Looking forward, life sciences companies are going to need real innovation across all parts of the go-to-market model to successfully commercialize their products, and Klick is uniquely positioned to partner with brands to create breakthrough commercial models,” said Fox.
Klick has more than 1,500 employees, according to LinkedIn.
