Gregg Berkowitz – President

Gregg Berkowitz created The PharMed Group, LLC and PharMed Placement, LLC to provide the medical communications industry with an efficient, reliable resource for all their personnel requirements. Since its inception in 2000, Gregg and PharMed have supported the freelance and full-time personnel efforts of more than 75 clients in the pharmaceutical and medical communications industries.

Prior to the formation of The PharMed Group, LLC, Gregg was an Account Executive with a major telecommunication company specializing in the medical communications business. As the number one ranked salesperson for the MCI WorldCom organization (2001), during a two-year period with the company, Gregg was responsible for the generation of new business in excess of more than $20 million dollars. Working closely with medical communications and health care companies, Gregg was made aware of the critical need for highly qualified science writers, regulatory, and other professional personnel to both complement existing resources and to fill new or open positions. So began the launch of the PharMed businesses: The PharMed Group, LLC and PharMed Placement, LLC.
