Medpace expands Executive Management Team, adding Kurt A. Brykman as COO, CRO Operations;
and Jesse Geiger, COO, Laboratory Operations and CFO.
CINCINNATI, OH (November 3, 2014) — Medpace, a global, privately held, full-service contract research organization
(CRO) announced it has added Kurt Brykman to its Executive Management team as COO, CRO Operations. In
addition, current CFO, Jesse Geiger will take on additional responsibility for Medpace Laboratory Operations in an
expanded role. Both positions will report to Dr. August Troendle, current Medpace President and CEO. The
organizational change further facilitates Medpace’s continued growth and augments our leadership capacity and
succession planning.
Kurt Brykman – a proven industry executive in the healthcare industry - was most recently an Officer and Divisional
President of a large CRO ranked among the top 5 in terms of revenue. He was a key member of the management
team that grew that CRO into the one of the largest clinical research organization in the world. He holds an MBA in
Finance and Economics from the J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University and a BS
in mathematics from Michigan State University.
Jesse Geiger-as the current CFO-has been instrumental in leading Medpace through two equity recapitalizations most recently Cinven in early 2014 - positioning Medpace as a preeminent global CRO. With this heightened
management focus on strategic laboratory operations, Medpace further enhances its position as a global provider
of central lab services. Prior to his role as Medpace CFO, Mr. Geiger held other management and leadership roles as
Corporate Controller, Financial Planning and Analysis Manager, and Director of Capital Markets. He holds a BBA in
Accounting from the University of Cincinnati and is a Certified Public Accountant.
“The creation of these two positions was critical to support continued Medpace growth,” said August J. Troendle,
Medpace President and CEO. “Enhancing management talent provides a catalyst for continued Medpace
operational performance - augmenting Medpace capacity at the executive level, and providing a succession plan
for the future.”
This reorganization and addition of executive industry talent will strengthen Medpace operational teams to better
serve sponsors.
