Verista

Verista's journey began with the unification of three established and respected firms: Clarke Solutions, Covex LLC, and Acquire Automation. Recognizing the growing and evolving needs of the life sciences industry, these companies came together in 2020 to form Verista, a powerhouse of expertise and comprehensive solutions. Clarke Solutions brought a strong foundation in engineering and automation solutions for manufacturing environments, a journey that started over two decades prior. Covex LLC, founded in 2001 by Rich Murg, contributed significant experience in compliance services, growing to become a leading provider in that space before being acquired and merged to form Verista. Acquire Automation added further depth in automation and packaging solutions. This strategic consolidation was driven by the vision to create a single, trusted partner that could support clients across the entire GxP lifecycle, from the initial stages of research and development through to commercialization, manufacturing, and distribution.

Since its inception, Verista has focused on bridging the traditional gap between IT and operations, offering a unique blend of industry-specific knowledge, subject-matter expertise, and collaborative approaches rooted in best practices and repeatable processes. The company has steadily grown, expanding its team to over 700 experts dedicated to delivering consistent, safe, and high-quality results. This growth has been fueled by a commitment to understanding the intricate challenges faced by pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies, including navigating complex regulatory landscapes, meeting aggressive timelines, and managing budget constraints. Verista's evolution has been marked by a dedication to empowering the scientific community and helping organizations solve critical healthcare challenges by providing innovative solutions and services that enable informed decision-making. The company continues to invest in its people and capabilities, fostering a culture of continuous learning, client focus, and integrity to ensure it remains at the forefront of the life sciences consulting industry.
