“As CLD celebrates its 40th Anniversary, I am reminded that commercial excellence is the result of consistent execution over time,” said CLD CEO, Donna Kilcoyne. “TGaS Advisors’ announcement of CLD as BoB winner in the Most Impactful Vendor category is a testament to CLD’s longevity in a highly competitive space. To be the only training company to win in this category makes this an honor. Learning that TGaS’ strong pre-requisite award criteria required CLD to have a minimum number of prior ratings, exceed benchmark averages in all measured categories, and receive multiple nominations, truly makes this an achievement. Most importantly, the last 40 years and this award would not be possible if not for our team of exceptional in-house training professionals, past and present, that are the engine of CLD.”

“We congratulate CLD for this outstanding achievement,” said TGaS President Gary McWalters. “The Most Impactful Vendor category of the BoBs awards is a great honor, as the nominations come directly from pharmaceutical companies themselves. In today’s landscape, where we are so reliant upon vendors to achieve success, commercial leaders are looking for vendors that can tangibly impact their business. This award recognizes vendor leaders in this space.”

The award is based on nominations received from over 120 pharmaceutical companies and by leveraging benchmark data in the TGaS Vendor insights database.
