London’s Shantal Feltham, president and CEO of Stiris Research, has been named to the 2010 Profit W100 ranking of Canada’s Top Women Entrepreneurs for the third consecutive year. Published in the November issue of PROFIT and online at PROFITguide.com, the PROFIT W100 profiles the country's most successful female business owners. Ms. Feltham and Stiris Research are ranked at #41 this year.
Stiris Research is North America’s most client-focused clinical research organization (CRO), managing clients from Phase 1 through IV trials. Committed to new ideas and innovative solutions, Stiris Research understands the changing environment of clinical research, as well as the different needs of each and every client and study.
As Founder, President and CEO, Feltham leads Stiris in strategic planning and is committed to developing long term relationships with clients. Since beginning her career in clinical research in 1995, Feltham has established a proven record of leadership in life sciences with extensive global and operational experience at multinational pharmaceutical and CRO companies. Feltham and her team have also been honoured here in London, having been named a finalist in the Business of the Year (Small Business Category) of the London Chamber of Commerce Business Achievement Awards.
Stiris Research specializes in providing unparalleled project management and monitoring expertise for Phase I – IV clinical trials. According to Feltham, 2011 is bringing with it some compelling initiatives.
Working with the London Economic Development Corporation and the Research Department at The University of Western Ontario, Feltham would like to increase the profile of London in the clinical research, pharmaceutical and biotech community and bring work to the Forest City. Moreover, Feltham would like to further the Canadian initiative by working with a US diversity group (whose membership is made up of large pharmaceutical companies) to create a value proposition for Canadian pharmaceutical companies to use to increase the amount of clinical research activities being awarded in Canada and conducted by Canadians. The second part of the initiative is to raise awareness of the value diversity in outsourcing and to show Canadians how their counterparts in the US have benefited.
With a demonstrated record of functional service, full service clinical trial support and customized solutions, Stiris Research has recently been invited to bid on more global trials, including sites in North America as well as Australia, Europe and Asia.
Stiris Research is a certified Woman Owned Business Enterprise through WEConnect Canada, and has also been recognized as one of Canada's top Women Entrepreneurial companies as well as an Emerging Growth Company by Profit Magazine.
