Veeva Systems’ Jennifer Goldsmith, vice president of Veeva Vault, has been appointed to the newly formed Healthcare IT Advisory Committee of Pennsylvania Bio (PA Bio). The mission of PA Bio is to ensure the state of Pennsylvania is a global leader in biosciences by creating a community that unites biotechnology, medical device, diagnostic, pharmaceutical research, and financial strengths.

She joins committee members from Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, Y-Prime, BioClinica, and other top technology companies.

“Cloud-based information technology now plays a significant role in the commercial and R&D operations of modern life sciences companies,” Goldsmith said. “I look forward to bringing my knowledge of industry best practices and innovative technology to help Pennsylvania’s life sciences organizations realize the transformative benefits of the cloud, including global collaboration, fast access to new capabilities, increased flexibility, and of course, the savings associated with the elimination of costly and complex IT infrastructure and maintenance.”
