Niran Seriki
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
I have served in various roles in my past and present organisations as a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO); Security Director & Clinical Supply Chain Security Manager, with over 35 years’ international, technical and management experience. I have led several global projects across different sectors such as Life Sciences, Biotechnology and other sectors, to reduce the organizations’ business, operational and cyber risks. I am also an expert in supporting biotechnology organisations with their Supply Chain Security, an area I have successfully designed and implemented security assessments and audit of Vendors and Third Parties.
All these, and the passion to support the Pharmaceutical industry to make medicines work for all, led to the establishment of Bliss Biomedics Clinical Research.
