CluePoints has appointed Usama Dar as its new chief product and technology officer.

He previously held leadership roles at organisations such as Westwing, Sciensus, Elsevier, The Guardian and Huawei. He has experience in eCommerce, software-as-a-service (Saas) and artificial intelligence, and has built and led teams to develop biotech products.

Andy Cooper, chief executive officer of CluePoints, said: “CluePoints has gone from being a very successful single-product company to a multi-product company undergoing a period of rapid growth, both in terms of people and our platform.

“Usama is the perfect fit to support us on our journey to provide the most comprehensive, and highest quality, integrated data review platform for the clinical development industry.”

Dar added: “What attracted me to CluePoints was its mission to harness technology to improve and accelerate clinical trials.

“I look forward to applying my engineering and product expertise to streamline development and elevate CluePoints’ offerings.”

In addition to working closely with the leadership team, Dar will collaborate with CluePoints’ co-founder, Francois Torche, who will continue to develop the company’s product vision as a strategic advisor.

Cooper said: “Usama brings a strong vision of where our focus should be and what we need to bring from a technology perspective to ensure we do not just grow successfully but also provide best-in-class technology to underpin our products and ensure our customers are satisfied and can scale with us.”
