New Council Members | R bloggers

Hello Pharmaverse Community,

On behalf of the council, we wanted to inform you of 2 council members who are passing the baton to new representatives of their respective companies.

First, Michael Rimler (one of our original co-founders) will transfer board responsibilities for GSK to Alice Ehmann. However, Michael will never be too far away as he retains his role on the PHUSE board as Open Source Technologies Director. His passion, creativity and ambition were one of the key reasons why we have such a thriving pharmaceutical suite of open source solutions and the community we see today.

Alice Ehmann joins after previously serving as a pack leader and contributor {admiral} and as a long-term R and open source enthusiast.

Secondly, Damian Rodziewicz hands over the role of Appsilon Council representative to Marcin Dubel. Damian has brought so much enthusiasm to our board during his term and helped us expand our reach. We will miss his down-to-earth and pragmatic style, and how he always stood up for the everyday users of Pharmaverse packages.

Marcin is head of technology at Appsilon so will bring additional technical skills to the board and will continue in Damian’s great example.

Join us in thanking Michael and Damian for all they have done for our community, and welcome to Alice and Marcin! Below you will find photos and biographies of our new council members.
