Lancashire health-tech giant bolsters leadership team
Cegedim Rx strengthens leadership team with return of Andy Gent as Product Director
Lancashire-based Cegedim Rx, the leading provider of software and technology for pharmacists, has expanded its senior leadership team with the appointment of Andy Gent.
The appointment will see Andy, who has more than 12 years of experience within health technology, take the role of product director.
Having previously worked for the community pharmacy technology specialist for four years until his departure in 2023, Andy has also held roles across primary and secondary care with Optum (formerly EMIS) and TPP.
As product director Andy will be responsible for leading the continued development of Cegedim Rx’s award-winning system, Pharmacy Manager.
Andy said: “Every new product enhancement we make is grounded in wanting to make the lives of pharmacy teams easier. We don’t believe in developing new functionality just because it’s cool, it has to work hard for pharmacies and solve the real problems and challenges they face.”
Managing director, Tracey Robertson added: “We’re so thrilled to have Andy back. Not just because his experience is second to none, but also because he’s rejoining us at such an exciting time for the business.”
Andy is the second new appointment to the Cegedim Rx senior leadership team this year, having also welcomed Stephanie Yapp into the role of marketing director.
