Results Healthcare, a healthcare advisory specialist that is part of the Results International Group, and Harel Consulting, a US-based business development consultancy with proprietary ties to leading pharmaceutical companies across the emerging markets, have signed a Cooperation Agreement.

According to the terms of the agreement, Results Healthcare will leverage its knowledge and relationships in the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors, particularly in Europe, to assist in identifying innovative companies that may become licensors for Harel Consulting’s Emerging Markets clients.

Harel Consulting is led by Jacob Harel, a seasoned pharmaceutical executive with over 25 years of experience in the industry. Prior to founding Harel Consulting, he most recently served as Head of Corporate Business Development at Merck & Co., during which time he structured and negotiated a variety of deals around the globe and especially in Emerging Markets.

Kevin Bottomley, Managing Director at Results Healthcare commented on the agreement: “We are very pleased to have this opportunity to work with Harel Consulting. Jacob’s background enables him to see Emerging Markets opportunities from a developed world perspective. We believe that together we are well positioned to find the right opportunities for our clients in these markets.”
