Soleo Health announced today that it appointed Becky Rand as its VP of business development and industry relations.

Rand’s responsibilities include initiating and maintaining relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers and biotechnology companies while also looking to broaden the company’s portfolio of exclusive and limited drug distribution partnerships and other strategic initiatives.

Frisco, Texas-based Soleo Health is a national provider of complex specialty pharmacy and infusion services administered in the home or at alternate sites of care.

“The complex management of specialty medications requires a holistic approach involving patients and providers. Soleo Health has excelled in this area with its expertise in delivering improved outcomes and better patient experiences,” Rand said in a news release. “I was attracted to this role because the company has all the necessary components and infrastructure for appropriately managing patients requiring complex treatments.”

Soleo Health said in the news release that Rand most recently served as VP of manufacturer relations at Excelera Rx, overseeing a team responsible for developing and managing relationships with pharmacy manufacturers, health system specialty pharma leaders and the life science community.

Rand also held the role of specialty pharmacy manufacturer relations executive at Humana and also served in various positions at Premier Healthcare Alliance’s Commcare Specialty Pharmacy and, before that, AstraZeneca.

“We welcome Becky to the Soleo Health team. Becky’s experience will complement our proven track record in the exclusive and limited drug distribution arena,” Soleo Health CEO Drew Walk said. “Her expertise aligns with our goals – to bring patients cutting-edge therapies and provide manufacturers and providers with real-world data through our proprietary patient outcomes program, SoleMetrics. We look forward to the contributions Becky will make in her new position.”
