SpectrumX onboards its team with leading Pharma and Healthcare Experts

SpectrumX, UK-based healthcare, and pharmaceutical company has recently announced boosting its senior management team with Dr Donna Lockhart joining as Head of Medicines consultant and Greg Whelan being appointed as Group Sales Director. These newly created roles will support the company’s growth as it progresses toward clinical trials and the commercial launch of its non-pharmaceutical products.

SpectrumX added that Dr. Donna Lockhart brings over 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, including having been Medical Director at Pfizer and Global Director of Regulatory and Medical Affairs at Reckitt Benckiser. She has significant know-how across pharmaceutical and medical device product development, medical affairs, clinical development, regulatory affairs, manufacturing and quality assurance.

Additionally, the firm’s sources added that Donna has obtained her medical degree at St. Mary’s Hospital in London and spent 7 years in clinical practice. She is a GMC registered physician with a B.Sc. in Clinical Pharmacology and has a Master of Business Administration.

In the role of Head of Medicines, Donna is responsible for SpectrumX’s clinical programs, including directing the SPC-069 clinical trial, which is due to commence in the coming months. SPC-069 is a potential novel treatment, based on Hypochlorous Acid (“HOCl”), for respiratory infection and is the first drug candidate in the world with broad-spectrum anti-pathogenic properties.

Donna is also responsible for assessing the value and prospect of various other drug candidates of Spectrum Antimicrobials Inc., the US-based developer of proprietary formulations of HOCI and associated technologies for medical applications, with a view to entering future licensing agreements.

SpectrumX also explained that Greg Whelan’s career in the healthcare sector spans over 20 years with senior sales positions at blue-chip organizations such as GlaxoSmithKline, MSD, and Omnicell as well as SME consultancies. He brings significant experience of launching products, in the UK and internationally, into private healthcare, pharmacy markets, and the NHS. He has consulted extensively with the NHS, including projects across communications and engagement planning and strategy. Greg is also certified by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry as a qualified and ethical Medical Representative.

Greg is responsible for leading sales strategy and supporting sales delivery for the company’s Spectricept line of sanitizers – a product range aimed at hospitals and health facilities, businesses and retailers – and, following the receipt of regulatory approval in due course, its pharmaceutical products. Alongside the company’s marketing director, he also oversees sales strategy for the spectriSKIN product range, which is sold directly to consumers.

We look forward to benefiting from their experience as we continue to progress towards bringing our products to market.”

Dr. Donna Lockhart, Head of Medicines at SpectrumX, added: “SpectrumX is developing innovative solutions to illnesses within the medical sphere and it is exciting to join such a progressive company. I am keen to get underway with the SPC-069 clinical trial program along with the evaluation of new drug candidates that have the potential to play a substantial role in the treatment of serious illnesses.”
