The Cool Chain Association (CCA) has welcomed Chiara Venuti, Vice President, Global Drug Distribution at MARKEN to its Board.

Chiara brings a wide pharmaceutical supply chain perspective to the panel of experts leading the group. Venuti joins the Association leadership team as the CCA plans new projects with like-minded groups in the temperature-controlled supply chain, including launching a study with pharma.aero.

 “I am looking forward to further supporting our industry by joining the Board of Cool Chain Association. We are committed to help drive strategic initiatives in the Cool Chain space that will bring value to the many stakeholders involved,” said Venuti, Vice President, Global Drug Distribution at MARKEN.
