Nuckols will be responsible for building on the company’s success, driving its commercial growth strategy, and leading its sales, solution science, and marketing functions.

We will look to him to expand our global footprint to meet the increasing demand for our cloud-based, collaborative platforms that harness the power of large-scale genomics, multi-omics, and clinical data.”
Nuckols brings more than 25 years of experience leading commercial teams, corporate growth strategy, M&A, and global accounts in the healthcare and life sciences sector.

Prior to ArisGlobal, he served as Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at ERT, a leading data and technology company supporting clinical drug development companies.

He also held senior executive roles at GE Healthcare, Sage Healthcare, IBM Corporation, Computer Associates, Cognos Corporation, and Oracle. Nuckols holds a bachelor of science degree from Radford University.
