Burman joins Ashfield with over a decade of pharmaceutical industry experience, including experience in medical information call centers. His career includes work at Merck, Wyeth, AstraZeneca and most recently Bristol-Myers Squibb. He created and launched a virtual scientific exchange center and was involved in the vision, strategy and implementation of the first global medical contact center in the industry.
