MotionHall Inc., the AI-powered marketplace for BioPharma mergers and acquisitions, has announced today it has hired Erin O’Halloran, who formerly held positions at Gilead Sciences, Merck, and Pfizer, as Vice President of Commercial Operations. In her new role, O’Halloran will lead the commercial operations team behind MotionHall, reporting directly to the company’s co-founder and CEO, Rachael Craig.
