New hire elevates strategic labeling solutions to support faster approval and smarter commercialization.
RALEIGH, July 8, 2025 – ProPharma, the leading global provider of regulatory, clinical, and compliance services for the life sciences industry and a portfolio company of Odyssey Investment Partners, today announced that Marshall Florence, PharmD, has joined as its new Vice President, Labeling. In this role, he will lead compliance and regulatory advisory services for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and diagnostic companies.
Prior to arriving at ProPharma, he was a Supervisory Pharmacist with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Division of Labeling Review, where he served as an FDA representative on the Tall Man Lettering Study and a member of the Safety Labeling Group. In this role, he oversaw primary and secondary review of drug product labeling and established and led the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA) Working Group. Florence brings 15 years of progressive leadership experience in Regulatory Promotional Review & Labeling Services, is an expert in strategic labeling development, and provides deep insight into how to craft labels that support business goals while staying compliant.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Marshall as a senior leader on ProPharma’s Regulatory Sciences team,” said Matthew Weinberg, ProPharma’s President, Regulatory Sciences. “His leadership experience at FDA and deep expertise in strategic label development significantly elevate our capabilities in advertising, promotional review, and drug development. His unique insight into the regulatory landscape—particularly for new molecular entities, generics, and products with complex exclusivity considerations—will bring immense value to our clients. This addition strengthens our industry-leading ability to guide companies through the full development lifecycle, including labeling strategy with precision, innovation, and compliance."
ProPharma is the world’s leading regulatory science consultancy, and Florence's addition will enable ProPharma clients to think about labeling from not only a regulatory angle but as part of a broader development strategy, especially regarding patent exclusivity, new molecular entities (NMEs), and generics. Florence is scheduled to host a webinar on July 22, 2025, where he will discuss how to craft high-quality ANDA submissions and avoid common pitfalls that lead to CRLs.
