With over 250 staff, excelling in the industry as leaders in clinical research, Everest is a very fast growing CRO and we are proud not only of our highly specialized role in advancing drug and medical devices research to better people lives, but also because we are woman-owned, and are currently employing over 62% women across our organization.

Irene Zhang President/CEO stated, Using our strong horsepower in statistics and data science, clinical research execution know-how, and software engineering, we hope to enhance our existing core offerings with the integrated clinical data dashboard asset to present insights to our teams and clients to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical trials.

Everest’s core business puts us in a unique position by designing and developing an analytics engine with Everest designed algorithms to reveal insights, risks, recommendations that will be very valuable to our clients.
