“This momentum comes at a pivotal moment in our history, as we just emerged as Real Chemistry earlier this year, and at a time when our mission has never been more important given the healthcare challenges facing our world,” said Jim Weiss, Founder and CEO of Real Chemistry. “The greatest healthcare innovations in the world need to be communicated relevantly and meaningfully to educate and engage with audiences for whom they could be lifesaving advances. That’s what we do. By understanding the essence, we uniquely can connect the dots, integrate and collaborate with customers, HCPs and partners on behalf of patients.”

Real Chemistry appointed Craig Abolt as Chief Financial Officer to oversee all aspects of the company’s financial operations, systems and infrastructure. Abolt has more than 30 years of experience in finance and has held various financial leadership positions at Covanta Holding Corporation, DIRECTV and The Walt Disney Company. Most recently, he was CFO at Intersection, an urban advertising and technology company, and CityBridge.

“We can’t make the world a healthier place for all unless we run a strong and healthy business as we grow,” added Weiss. “Craig’s breadth and depth of experience is immediately relevant and impactful and is mission critical for this phase as we further integrate and expand on our offerings and evolve operations accordingly to scale. Craig will make sure we deliver on that promise for our people, customers and the patients we ultimately serve.”
