Barry Balfe
A company veteran, Balfe's experience scaling ICON's Functional Services and pharma sales by focusing on lucrative clients gives him the operational and strategic skills to revive growth.
According to sources, Balfe is a "brilliant, decisive" leader, but his "demanding, sometimes domineering style" and limited empathy have historically caused friction and turnover.
Balfe aims to revive earnings growth by winning contracts in the higher-end CRO space and building out AI capabilities, despite his relative weakness in clinical experience.
