“Adding STATinMED Research to the Ancor portfolio complements our long-term growth strategy – taking established, successful companies and accelerating their position in the market,” commented Vic Keller, managing partner at Ancor Capital Partners. “The HEOR industry is a complex and fast-growing discipline. As the nation’s economy continues to be challenged by escalating health care costs, STATinMED has emerged as one of the primary drivers of innovation whose trusted research influences strategic health care decision-making.”

Keller continued, “It is an honor to be part of this extraordinary team of professionals who are doing such important and purposeful work in the health care industry. Dr. Baser and his team have done an outstanding job building, growing and executing the vision of STATinMED. Their passion and leadership have instilled a culture of success that has positioned STATinMED to be the preferred partner for the HEOR needs of major pharmaceutical and health care companies. We are excited for the tremendous market opportunities in front of STATinMED and believe that Ancor’s operational expertise and established resources will help propel STATinMED to the next level.”

I am confident that Ancor’s strategies will align with our vision, and their extensive experience and resources will position STATinMED to capitalize on the opportunities ahead.”

The transaction was led by Keller. Keller joined Ancor Capital Partners in 2017 and brings over 20 years of experience in establishing, growing and optimizing businesses. Keller will assume the role of chairman at STATinMED effective immediately.
