Helena began her career in the world of clinical research in 2004, as a study physician at the ClinPharm study site in Chemnitz.
The world of clinical research fascinated her from the very beginning. Having the ability to offer more to patients, even in cases of despair, gave her the motivation to continue working and developing herself, her skills and her experience in this area.
In 2008, she took over the position of Director Clinical Operations at the German SMO ClinPharm International GmbH with exclusively dedicated research centres. She was responsible for the clinical processes in eight study sites in Germany and also actively participated in the establishment of new study sites abroad.
After the sale of the German company to the English company Synexus LTD in 2010, she took over the management of the German branch as Director of Operations. She was responsible for about 70 employees. Her new responsibilities included corporate management, human resources, finances and budgeting. She reported directly to senior executives in the UK, where she gained a lot of experience in international management. These tasks expanded her the extensive clinical, study and operative knowledge.
In May 2014, she decided to share her knowledge and expertise with private physicians who conducted studies in their own practices in Germany. Established physicians have tremendous potential to carry out clinical trials, qualitatively and quantitatively, at the highest level. This is due to their high professional qualifications and the long-term relationship that they have with their patients. However, they need professional support for the organizational elements of study sites and their consistency in all their assignments. That's how an idea was born.
After the first positive talks with some colleagues, the time had come. The network was born…
Today, Helena Sigal leads a young, successful and highly motivated team, which works proactively, creatively and solution-oriented which she is very proud of.
The network currently includes around 30 study sites in Germany and new ones are constantly being added.
