Battelle has hired Sanjeeth M. Pai, who brings more than 20 years of
experience in global healthcare, to lead its health research and
technology business. He will serve as Vice President and General Manager
where he will oversee nearly 1,000 employees in the $250 million
business.
Pai most recently led U.S. commercial operations for Concordia
International, a global pharmaceutical company, and also worked at
Cardinal Health, where he held a variety of leadership roles. The most
recent of those was leading strategy for data management and data
solutions for physician office and pharmaceutical manufacturing
customers. He has held numerous other positions in the healthcare
industry since the early days of his career at Steris and Abbott

Pai will be responsible for financial, operational and organizational
performance in addition to providing strategic leadership and vision for
the three main business groups that include medical devices, public
health, and clinical and non-clinical research.
“We’re pleased to welcome Sanjeeth, with his extensive global
experience, to Battelle,” said Matt Vaughan, President of Contract

profitable commercial businesses that aligns well with our plans to
continue growing an already robust health business at Battelle. And this
includes our many government clients who have long relied on our
expertise in toxicology, environmental exposure and countermeasure
development studies.”
“I’m thrilled to be joining a company of Battelle’s caliber,” Pai said.
“Battelle brings together unmatched experience and expertise to address
the complex needs in device engineering, data analytics and clinical
