SOMERSET, N.J., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- inVentiv Health Inc. today announced that it has created a new Client Development and Integration team. The team will be led by Dan Twibell, who was recently promoted to Chief Client Development Officer.

The Client Development and Integration team will be responsible for working across the company’s segments to identify new opportunities to serve both new and existing clients and to build broad, multidisciplinary solutions to meet their needs.
