RALEIGH, North Carolina, January 28 /PRNewswire/ --

Campbell Alliance, the leading management consulting firm specializing in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, today announced that Nader Naeymi-Rad, Senior Vice President of the firm's Brand Management practice, will speak at the EyeForPharma Oncology Summit Europe. The event will be held on January 30-31, 2008, at the Regent's Park Marriott Hotel in London, England.

Mr. Naeymi-Rad's presentation, titled "Key Success Factors for Launching Oncology Products in Europe," is slated for 2:00 pm GMT on January 30 and will cover:

-- The unique characteristics of the oncology market and how they affect a product launch -- The nuances of launching products in Europe versus other regions of the world -- How best to manage the logistics of a product launch

"Launching a new pharmaceutical product is a complex and challenging undertaking. It becomes significantly more so when that product is an oncologic. The oncology market is complicated and becoming ever more competitive, the products themselves are complex, and launch managers face a wide range of strategic and operational challenges that are not often apparent when launching more traditional drugs in a primary care environment," stated Mr. Naeymi-Rad.

As the head of Campbell Alliance's Brand Management Practice, Mr. Naeymi-Rad is an expert at developing and implementing commercial strategies and improving commercial processes.
