Contract Pharma is pleased to announce the appointment of Julie Fuhrer as its new Publisher, succeeding Lauren Hanna.

Julie brings more than 25 years of experience in medical device media and marketing to the role. For the past 18 years, she has served as Media Brand Manager for Medical Product Outsourcing (MPO) and Orthopedic Design & Technology (ODT) at Rodman Media, where she worked closely with medical device and orthopedic CDMOs and suppliers.

Prior to joining Rodman Media, she was an Account Director at Canon Communications (now Informa), supporting Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry (MD&DI), one of the leading publications in the sector.

“Julie brings a deep understanding of the life sciences and outsourcing markets, along with a proven track record of connecting companies with their audiences,” said Rodman (Rod) Zilenziger, President of Rodman Media. “Her leadership and industry insight will help Contract Pharma continue to grow as the leading source of news and analysis for the global pharmaceutical outsourcing sector.”

In addition to her professional achievements, Fuhrer is a proud mom of two boys, a dog lover, and a SHiNE Dance Fitness instructor who enjoys building community through movement.

As Julie steps into her new role, Contract Pharma extends its heartfelt gratitude to Lauren Hanna for her years of dedication, leadership, and commitment to the brand.
